Companies in the artificial cervical intervertebral disc market are undertaking many research and development activities to introduce innovative products. The new replacement therapies enable the adoption of advanced technologies, strengthening the procedural outcomes. For instance, in April 2021, UD FDA approved NuVasive Simplify Cervical Artificial Disc for two-level cervical total disc replacement (cTDR).
Additionally, in August 2020, Orthofix Medical Inc., a global medical device company focused on musculoskeletal products and therapies, received the US Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) approval for its M6-C artificial cervical disc for patients suffering from cervical disc degeneration. The M6-C artificial cervical disc, a next-generation artificial disc, is developed to replace an intervertebral disc damaged by cervical disc degeneration, which also restores physiologic motion to the spine. Moreover, in May 2018, Zimmer Biomet received approval from the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) for its Mobi-C Cervical Disc for cervical total disc replacement (cTDR). Mobi-C is the first cervical disc prosthesis approved by the US FDA to reconstruct a cervical disc at one and two levels (C3-C7). Such robust developments are likely to reshape the artificial cervical intervertebral disc market during the forecast period.
