WEST CHESTER, PA — Centinel Spine®, LLC has announced the launch of new instrumentation for its prodisc L Lumbar Total Disc Replacement (LTDR) System, reinforcing its commitment to innovation in motion-preserving spinal solutions. Designed to improve ease of use and optimize surgical technique reproducibility, the new tools address critical steps in surgery, such as disc height control during implantation and precision chisel cuts for implant positioning.
Orthopedic spine surgeon Dr. John Hall of Arizona Precision Spine remarked, “I appreciate that Centinel Spine continues to advance lumbar total disc replacement through the release of new and enhanced instrumentation. These tools are designed to enhance the surgeon’s experience and allow a more streamlined approach to the procedure.”
The LTDR market is among the fastest-growing sectors in orthopedics, with the prodisc L system achieving a compound annual growth rate of over 25% in the U.S. since 2018. This growth is backed by long-term data on implant survivorship, showing low revision (0.67%) and adjacent-level surgery rates (1.85%) over an average follow-up period of nearly 12 years.
Patient demand for motion-preserving spinal solutions has also surged, with searches for LTDR surgical care rising 50% in 2024 compared to the previous year. Reimbursement coverage continues to expand, with nearly universal coverage for one-level prodisc L procedures and over 35% coverage for two-level cases. Additionally, more than 2,500 surgeons in the U.S. have been trained on the system through Centinel Spine’s medical education initiatives.
Commenting on the company’s dedication to advancing spinal care, Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray stated, “The growth in lumbar total disc replacement procedures since 2018 has been tremendous. Centinel Spine continues to invest and innovate in motion preservation to ensure surgeons have optimized implants and instruments to maximize patient outcomes. The release of these new instruments is yet another step in the execution of our robust long-term strategy.”
Centinel Spine’s advancements reflect a strategic focus on improving technologies for lumbar total disc replacement and offering solutions that prioritize patient outcomes and surgical efficiency.
