What is the BAGUERA® L Disc Replacement?

The BAGUERA® L is a lumbar disc prosthesis, an artificial disc replacement, specifically designed for the lumbar spine. It’s a medical device used in surgery to replace a damaged or degenerated intervertebral disc with a metal and plastic prosthesis.

Key Features and Design:

• Materials:
The BAGUERA®L uses titanium endplates, a porous titanium coating, and a polyethylene nucleus. 

• Stability:
It’s designed for primary and secondary stability, with fins on the upper and lower plates to help secure it in place. 

• Mobility:
The BAGUERA®L allows for a choice of a mobile or fixed nucleus during surgery, providing flexibility to the surgeon. 

• Shock Absorption:
The shape of the inferior plate and the polyethylene nucleus are designed to help absorb shocks and vibrations. 

• MRI Artifacts:
The titanium plates are coated with a material to reduce MRI artifacts. 

Benefits:

• Pain Relief:
Lumbar disc replacement, including with the BAGUERA®L, is often performed to relieve pain associated with spinal disc degeneration.

• Improved Function:
The procedure aims to restore normal function and range of motion in the lower back.

• Reduced Complication Rates:
Clinical studies have shown that the BAGUERA®L has low complication rates and excellent clinical results. 

Clinical Data:

• Clinical studies have evaluated the BAGUERA®L’s long-term safety and performance, showing low complication rates and good clinical outcomes. 

• A study enrolling 73 patients completed the BAGUERA®L study.

• Researchers are continuously evaluating the long-term safety and performance of the BAGUERA®L.

In summary, the BAGUERA®L is a well-established lumbar disc prosthesis that offers a range of benefits for patients undergoing lumbar disc replacement surgery.

BAGUERA®C Cervical Disc Replacement

The Baguera C is a cervical disc prosthesis designed by Spineart. It’s an artificial disc intended for use in the cervical spine to replace a damaged or diseased disc. The Baguera C is designed to maintain the natural behavior and mobility of the cervical spine, offering patients a treatment option that aims to preserve motion, unlike spinal fusion. 

Key features of the Baguera C:

• 6 degrees of freedom:
The prosthesis allows for a full range of motion in the cervical spine, mimicking the natural movement of the disc. 

• Sloping anatomical design:
This design optimizes the fit between the device and the disc space, maximizing endplate coverage. 

• Guided mobile nucleus:
The nucleus is designed to prevent excessive constraints on the facet joints and to avoid posterior subluxation. 

• Reduced MRI artifacts:
The materials used in the device minimize artifacts that can interfere with postoperative monitoring.

• Improved stress distribution:
The design aims to distribute stress more evenly across the implant and surrounding tissues.
