Fix My Back Disc

Procedure

The resuspension of the metallic contrast agent must be homogeneous at the time of its injection. Kit allows intervention on two discs (one needle and one syringe per disc). It is necessary to agitate the vial vigorously. It is possible to use to use an outlying rotary agitator.

The quantity of DISCOGEL® injected by disc varies between 0,2 and 0,8 ml, according to the dimension of disc and extent of the hernia. A syringe of 1mL is provided so that any of these injection volumes is possible. A needle is inside the kit to withdraw DISCOGEL® from its vial. It is necessary to undertake the filling of the syringe as shown on the photo here above.
Injected gel must be homogeneous at the time of its injection. Kit allows possibly intervening on two discs (a syringe by disc).

For the curious persons about the procedure, we filmed two types of intervention in real conditions. Only needles are requested to use the product with this technology; this is why this procedure is said minimally - invasive.

Two types of Interventions were filmed so you could see how Discogel is injected in real conditions. Only needles are used, no surgery no back surgery recovery, basically an outpatient procedure with a quick recovery; this is why this procedure is minimally - invasive.
The patients are all conscious and the practitioner explains the actions he is performing on each patient directly.

MRI RESULTS

Cervical herniated disc treated with DISCOGEL®

Young athlete: champion of triple jump which took back normally its physical activities after the treatment.

Note the regression of the hernia.



Thoracic herniated disc treated with DISCOGEL®

Military person who had a traumatism during a bad fall with a consecutive thoracic disc hernia. This person is back in his professional activities.

Note that despite persistence of a “shape of protrusion” watchable on imagery, the patient after one month was asymptomatic (lost his pain).



Exclusive disc hernia in a lumbar level of spine treated with DISCOGEL®

Note that at 3 months after injection of DISCOGEL®, the patient already was asymptomatic. (no pain)

4 years after injection the height of the disc remains stable: no vertebral collapse occurred.
