Nexgen Gets CE Marking for Artificial Disc

Nexgen Spine received CE Marking to market its Physio-L Lumbar artificial disc in the EU.

The device is a disc prosthesis used in the lumbar spine for patients suffering from degenerative disc disease. Its elastomeric technology enables it to mimic the mechanical properties of a natural disc, Nexgen said.

As opposed to other disc prostheses, the product helps restore the natural shock absorption of the disc, the company added.
