March 12, 2010 – Dynamic disc designs – A fully Canadian company
created and run by Jerome Fryer, DC - who has brought spine practitioners the
most realistic and clinically instructive lumbar disc models since 2006, now introduces
two cervical spine models and two new lumbar models, including the surgical
simulator.
Vascular Clear CxH cervical disc model
Crafted with the same materials, and based on equally detailed
and up-to-date research as ddd’s lumbar models, these two new cervical models are
copies based on real human bone structure, and contain a two-part
intervertebral disc that can be manipulated for demonstration through six
degrees of freedom. The models are designed to demonstrate annular
disruption, nuclear migration with manual compression, including posterior
nuclear migration with various compressive loads, and shows the fibrous nucleus
pulposus.
Biomechanical LxH lumbar disc model
Both
of ddd’s new lumbar models offer a realistic two-part disc with six degrees of
freedom and an L4 endplate lens.
As the
name suggests, the Biomechanical LxH can be used for biomechanical testing. The
model demonstrates higher tensile and tear strength annular properties, a white
fibrous nucleus pulposus and is able to withstand forces known to cause
endplate failure.
Surgical Simulator LxH lumbar disc model
The Surgical
Simulator LxH model demonstrates a full radial tear, white fibrous nucleus
pulposus and simulated granulation with extruded material. This model has been tested by a neurosurgeon
to ensure anatomical, spatial and tensile accuracy.

new cervical and lumbar models from ddd can be ordered online, along with all
current lumbar models, through the company’s website at www.dynamicdiscdesigns.com
