WEST CHESTER, Pa., Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Centinel Spine^®, LLC, ("the Company") the leading global medical device company addressing cervical and lumbar spinal disease with the most clinically-proven total disc replacement (TDR) technology platform in the world (prodisc^®), today announced record third quarter 2023 prodisc TDR financial results. Strong operational performance coupled with 61% year-over-year global revenue growth in Q3 2023 resulted in the Company achieving its second consecutive EBITDA-positive quarter. Centinel Spine's strong quarterly results were driven through a record number of prodisc surgeon users, as well as accelerated procedure volume and user adoption of the Company's new prodisc C Vivo and prodisc C SK cervical TDR system.

According to one of the early adopters of the new prodisc cervical system, Neurosurgeon John S. Shiau, MD, of Maplewood, NJ and Manhattan, NY, "I believe in the advantages of cervical disc replacement over fusion in my patients. The functional recovery and the long-term results are fantastic. I have been very happy with the different disc replacements available from Centinel Spine. I can choose the implant that best achieves my surgical goals of functional stabilization. In addition, I can pick the implant that fits the anatomy, rather than changing the anatomy to fit the implant. This maximizes the chance of achieving successful outcomes in my patients. For these reasons, depending on the clinical setting, I continue to use both the original prodisc C implant and the prodisc C Vivo implant. For example, if the superior endplate is flat, then the prodisc C better fits the anatomy; if the endplate is concave, then I choose the domed prodisc C Vivo. The prodisc C Vivo implant is an improvement in terms of ease of insertion."

Centinel Spine CEO Steve Murray shared, "We are pleased with the progress Centinel Spine is making in the total disc replacement market this year. The Company is exclusively and entirely focused on becoming the unrivaled leader in TDR and expanding the market as we grow. In both cervical and lumbar disc replacement, surgeons see the benefit of our Match-the-Disc family of anatomic discs. The clinical benefits of total disc replacement are clear and impeccably reported in the many studies of their safety and effectiveness—and, increasingly, patients seek treatment pathways that maintain motion and reduce the likelihood of future surgery. We will continue putting our full effort into advancing patient care in all we do."
