The FDA has approved the Mobi-C to be used as a safe and effective surgical option for both one and two-level indications following positive results from the multi-centre clinical trials.
LDR president and CEO Christophe Lavigne said the company offers an on-label, arthroplasty solution for the significant number of patients suffering from two-level cervical disc disease.
"It is very gratifying to know that spine surgeons can now offer this new, evidence-based treatment option to their two-level surgical candidates," Lavigne said.
Mobi-C is reportedly the first artificial cervical disc approved by the FDA for multi-level indications of degenerative disc disease in the US.

Mobi-C cervical disc demonstrated statistical superiority for two-level use as compared with fusion control treatment based on the primary endpoint analysis in multi-center clinical trials.
In addition, the efficacy of Mobi-C was proven in the two-level arm of the investigational device exemption trial, where it demonstrated superiority in overall trial success compared to standard options like anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for treating cervical degenerative disc disease.
GMBC director of neurosciences in Baltimore, Maryland Dr Reginald Davis noted the study data supporting the FDA approval for Mobi-C represents Level I evidence, the highest level of data classification achievable in the field of Evidence Based Medicine.
Mobi-C has the room to make a significant and positive impact in the treatment of one or two-level cervical disc disease as the patient population is large.
