Am I A Candidate?
The BRYAN® Cervical Disc is indicated for use in skeletally mature patients undergoing primary surgery for treatment of mechanically stable, degenerative disc disease of the cervical spine at one level between C3 and C7, as demonstrated by signs and/or symptoms of radiculopathy and/or myelopathy associated with spondylotic foraminal or canal stenosis and/or disc herniations.
The device should not be implanted in patients with an active infection, osteoporosis, radiographic evidence of mechanical instability or the absence of demonstrated motion at the treatment level on preoperative flexion/extension radiographs.
The presence of anatomical abnormalities and/or deformities may reduce the surgeon's ability to ensure proper placement of the prosthesis. In some instances, there may be an interference that prevents implantation at C3-C4. In these instances, it may be necessary to perform a fusion procedure.
If you are anticipating spinal surgery, ask your doctor if you are a potential candidate for the BRYAN® Cervical Disc.
It is important that you discuss the potential risks, complications, and benefits of the BRYAN® Cervical Disc with your doctor prior to receiving treatment, and that you rely on your physician's judgment. Only your doctor can determine whether you are a suitable candidate for this treatment. The materials on this Web site are for your general educational information only.
