Carrie Aurelius
CEO & Founding Partner
Carrie Aurelius is currently directing the DISCSEEL® Procedure’s growth in the United States, Asia, and elsewhere.
She recognized that conventional spine surgeries needed to be improved or replaced, so she directed her experiences toward the emerging field of regenerative medicine. The DISCSEEL Procedure was well suited for her combined experiences, where she initiated the DISCSEEL Procedure’s national and international physician education and business expansion programs.

A Novel Approach to Spine Care
The DISCSEEL® Procedure
The DISCSEEL Procedure is a minimally invasive procedure that utilizes Fibrin, a natural biologic. It is meant to heal discs and prevent leaks by promoting the regrowth of healthy tissue. This revolutionary procedure is yielding positive results for many patients around the world.
The DISCSEEL Procedure introduces Fibrin, which is incorporated into the disc to form a barrier, with the ultimate goal of sealing any tears in the disc’s outer portion. This sealing prevents disc fluid from leaking out and inflaming the surrounding nerves, causing pain. Fibrin creates an environment, and a natural 3-D matrix, unlike PRP or Stem cells, which stimulates the healing of new disc tissue, in the same way that Fibrin naturally heals skin and other injured tissue in the human body
