A Human Design

The Freedom® Lumbar Disc (FLD) and Freedom® Cervical Disc (FCD) are intended to replace degenerated lumbar or cervical discs. The FLD and FCD polymer cores are designed to provide the kind of stiffness similar to that found in healthy human discs. Like human discs, the cores are viscoelastic, which means they respond to different loads and loading rates the way a human spine does

A Material Advantage

The material characteristics of the polymer used in all Freedom® Discs, in combination with their design, provide both stability and three-dimensional motion that biomechanical testing has shown functions within the natural biomechanics of the spine. The Freedom® Lumbar and Cervical Discs are designed to withstand the forces and wear characterized by decades of use as an implant in relatively young patients.

Because of its viscoelastic core, the AxioMed disc is designed for safe MRI compatibility.

An Interdisciplinary Team

The Freedom® Lumbar and Freedom® Cervical Discs were developed and designed by a first-class team of spine surgeon partners, engineers, and expert scientists in biomechanics, pathology, spine surgery and polymer science. The company has successfully completed extensive biomechanical and biocompatibility evaluations of the Freedom® Cervical and Lumbar Discs.
