Spinal Surgery
Pearsalls are leading a project to develop implants for the repair of damaged spinal disks in the neck. These cervical spinal discs are coated with an embroidered polyester fabric which mimics the natural ligaments of the spinal disc, shown in a sketch below.
There are trials in progress relating to this device. Enquiries should be addressed to Dr Alan Mcleod at Nuvasive Inc: amcleod@nuvasive.com
