Spinal Kinetics specializes in innovative solutions for cervical disc degeneration, primarily through its flagship product, the M6-C™ artificial cervical disc. This device is designed to provide a non-fusion alternative for patients suffering from chronic neck and arm pain due to conditions such as ruptured or bulging discs. The M6-C disc uniquely mimics the natural structure and movement of a healthy cervical disc, allowing for a full range of motion, including flexion, extension, lateral bending, and rotation. Its design incorporates a shock-absorbing nucleus and a fiber annulus, which work together to replicate the cushioning effect of a natural disc, potentially reducing stress on adjacent discs and vertebral structures.

With a proven clinical history, over 70,000 M6-C devices have been implanted in patients across more than 20 countries, demonstrating its effectiveness and reliability as a treatment option. The M6-C artificial disc aims to maintain the natural biomechanics of the spine, offering patients a functional solution that promotes mobility and alleviates pain. This innovative approach positions the M6-C as a preferred choice over traditional spinal fusion methods, providing a promising alternative for those affected by cervical disc degeneration.

Founded in 2003, Spinal Kinetics is a privately-held medical device company focused on partnering with spine surgeons to develop innovative and practical motion preservation systems for treating degenerative diseases of the spine.

The M6 artificial disc is the first of these non-fusion motion preservation products intended to replicate the anatomic and biomechanical attributes of a natural intervertebral disc. The M6 is the only artificial disc that mimics a natural disc’s design by incorporating an artificial nucleus and annulus into both its cervical and lumbar platforms.
