ZimVie Inc. announced that over 200,000 Mobi-C Cervical Discs have been implanted worldwide. This includes patients treated in over 25 countries since the first surgery was completed with the device in France in 2004. In 2013, Mobi-C became the first cervical disc to win approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of more than one level of the cervical spine.

The FDA has determined Mobi-C to be statistically superior to fusion at 7 years for two-level cervical disc replacement, based on the primary study endpoint of a prospective, concurrently controlled and randomized, multi-center clinical trial.1 At 10 years, all patient-reported outcomes were equivalent to or improved from 7 years. Common post-operative risks from surgery with the Mobi-C include pain in the neck, arm, back, shoulder, or head, and dysphagia.
