SB Charité Intervertebral Dynamic Disc Spacer | | | General Information | |
| Vendor | | DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. | | Item | | SB Charité Intervertebral Dynamic Disc Spacer | | Features | | The endplates are attached to the vertebral bodies by means of anchoring teeth along their edge. The polyethylene sliding core is placed between these articulating endplates and is designed to allow near normal physiological movement. Much like an artificial hip or knee that relies on metal and plastic bearing surfaces to replicate normal movement of those joints, the SB Charité is designed to closely mimic the normal function of a healthy disc. The surgical procedure for the SB Charité requires placement of the implant using an anterior (front) approach with a small incision just below the belly button. The degenerative disc is removed at the affected level and the SB Charité Intervertebral Dynamic Disc Spacer is placed into the disc space. | | Approval | | US FDA approval as of October 2004. The SB Charité has received the CE mark and is commercially available in over 25 countries throughout Europe, Asia, Canada, Australia, Africa and Latin America. | | Product Number | | Inquire | | Pricing |  | Inquire |
