The M6 Artificial Disc is designed to replicate the anatomic structure and biomechanical performance of a natural disc. Its innovative design incorporates an artificial nucleus to allow axial compression and a woven fiber annulus for controlled range of motion in all 6 degrees of freedom.

M6-C Artificial Cervical Disc

M6 Artificial Disc Components

Nucleus

• Viscoelastic polymer designed to simulate native nucleus
• Allows physiologic axial compression
• Retained between endplates & fiber annulus matrix
• Designed to enable physiologic Center Of Rotation

Annulus

• Ultra High Molecular Polyethylene (UHWMPE) fiber material
• Intended to simulate native annulus & its performance
• Designed to provide controlled physiologic motion in all planes and axes
• Robust fiber matrix with multiple layers similar to native annulus

Sheath

• Designed to minimize tissue in-growth & debris migration
• Allows for full range of motion

Fixation

• Titanium endplates with tri-keel design
• Titanium Plasma Spray (TPS) coated endplate
• Low profile keel height (2mm)
