“Lumbar Total Disc Replacement is no longer an investigational technology,” said Scott Blumenthal, MD of the Texas Back Institute (Plano, TX), who performed the first artificial disc replacement (ADR) in the US more than 15 years ago. “Guiding patients to experienced arthroplasty surgeons can increase patient access to lumbar TDR.”
Scott Blumenthal, MD
We are very pleased that the FDA has determined activL to be safe and effective for lumbar total disc replacement. We are excited to be the first medical device company in ten years to introduce a new lumbar disc to the market. This U.S. approval is validation of Aesculap’s commitment to introducing innovative technologies that give patients alternatives to the standard of care.”
Chuck DiNardo, Aesculap President
“The product is easy to implant, there is no potential for leakage of cells out of the defect area as the cells are equally distributed within the implant [due to the nature of the scaffold]. The hope is that NOVOCART 3D will promote a hyaline-like repair of the cartilage to mimic the natural joint and provide homogenous ingrowth of articular cartilage for good long term results.”
Kenneth R. Zaslav, M.D
S4 Element MIS is a simple, intuitive, and elegant system that has many unique features that address th eneeds of both experienced and transitioning MIS surgeons.

These exciting results not only support our mission to improve the quality of a patient’s life, but represent a cornerstone for the future of spinal fusion treatment.
Chuck DiNardo, President - Aesculap
The positive results of this study not only support our mission to improve the quality of a patient’s life, but represent a new benchmark in total knee arthroplasty surgery.
Chuck Dinardo, President - Aesculap
These hands-on courses pack a tremendous amount of information. The faculty are outstanding – they are approachable and skilled. The lectures are informative and well-planned. The laboratory component is top-notch and there is ample time to both learn and to practice the techniques. The facility is state-of-the-art as well with a modern, comfortable lecture hall and an impressive “wet lab” that simulates the O.R. beautifully.
