STUDY SUMMARIES
CONCENTRATED FIBRIN (DISCSEEL® PROCEDURE) STUDY SUMMARIZES DISC PAIN:
- Disc pain is among the largest sources of low back pain
- No conservative or non-surgical therapy, including physical therapy, is scientifically proven to relieve disc pain
- Long term surgical success is less than 50%
CAUSES OF DISC DEGENERATION:
- Vertebral endplate sclerosis
- Accumulation of painful and damaging inflammatory proteins and proteolytic enzymes
- Nucleus Pulposis death
- Disc reduction in proteoglycan and water content
- Nucleus Pulposis fibrosis
CHRONIC DISC PAIN IS ASSOCIATED WITH:
- Accumulation of radial and concentric anulus fibrosis tears
- Vascular and painful nerve in-growth into anular tears
- Increased sensitivity to pain stimuli of exposed nerves
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DISCSEEL® PROCEDURE:
- The Biologic flows into the disc’s tears and fissures, thus sealing them with a resorbable tissue matrix
- Concentrated fibrin (Discseel® Procedure) is uniquely formulated for disc healing
HEALING WITH CONCENTRATED FIBRIN:
- Builds a naturally conductive tissue scaffold
- Metabolically reduces inflammation
- Improves anabolic catabolic balance
- Enhanced disc healing by concentrated fibrin
PAIN RELIEF RESULTING FROM CONCENTRATED FIBRIN (DISCSEEL® PROCEDURE):
- Concentrated fibrin binds to degenerated disc tissue, sealing anular leaks
- Inhibits inflammatory cytokines and proteolytic enzymes
- Pre-programmed degradation of concentrated fibrin stimulates tissue repair via chemotaxis
- The disc tissue repair provides sustained pain relief
CONCLUSION:
- THe FDA study proves concentrated fibrin heals degenerated discs
- Catalyze the natural soft tissue repair process
- The Discseel® Procedure is a non-surgical, percutaneous procedure
- Unlike fusions or artificial discs, Discseel® Procedure does not damage adjacent discs.
- FDA NASS Outstanding Study of the Year supports concentrated fibrin used in the Discseel® Procedure beneficial physical and metabolic modes of action
