AxioMed cervical disc has been implanted in Europe, Australia and Jamaica. To date has never had a failed device or a revision. Experts believe that AxioMed will replace many of the spine surgery done for fusion. The spine was made to move and AxioMed is the closest device to the natural human disc.
AxioMed LLC is privately owned by the KICVentures Group and was founded in 2001 by surgeons at Cleveland Clinic and engineers who previously worked with Dr. Art Steffee and Acroflex viscoelastic disc replacement. The current AxioMed disc comprises of a proprietary silica-based viscoelastic material proven in extensive biomedical/biocompatible testing to mimic the human disc in all planes and 50+ years of longevity testing. The viscoelastic material is radiolucent and thus X-ray and MRI compatible. Over 800 discs have been implanted worldwide with zero failures or revisions. It is the only viscoelastic lumbar disc to complete a USA IDE clinical study with 10+ years of follow-up.
