Nothing else exists to repair spinal discs. Surgeons have attempted sutures or ligatures to repair discs without success. biologics therapy and PRP fail to reliably help because they leak from damaged discs. Often people suffering from degenerative disc disease are plagued with back pain from one or more torn discs, which inflame nerves within the discs as well as the adjacent spinal nerve causing back pain and leg pain or arm pain. When a disc leaks over time, it can lose hydration and become degenerated. The Discseel® Procedure uses a Fibrin biologic to repair the damaged, torn discs, allowing an individual’s body to replace the damaged cells with new cells. Essentially, the goal of The Discseel® Procedure is for the Fibrin biologic to seal and instigate healthy, new disc tissue growth where the tissue is torn, to stop the disc from leaking and no longer inflaming the nerves. Studies affirm that Fibrin seals discs returning them to normal mechanical strength. Fibrin sealant can allow biologics therapy and growth factors to stay and help a disc that would otherwise leak.

For decades, physicians have been recommending spinal fusions to patients, only for them to fail. These life-altering procedures have led to some of the highest percentages of surgical failures and opioid dependency among surgical patients. So the real question is: why are doctors not recommending a procedure that has greater success? It’s simple, an average spinal fusion patient is worth between $250,000 and $750,000 in insurance payouts over the patient’s lifetime. It was the high failure that leads to the creation of The Discseel® Procedure. So how do the two procedures compare to each other? Here are some facts:

• In over 40% of patients that receive a spinal fusion, the fusion does not address the long-term source of the pain.
• At least 1/3 of all spinal fusion patients need a second or third fusion of their spine within 10 years.
• The Discseel® Procedure has been successful in permanently relieving back pain in 70% of patients that had a previous failed spinal procedure, such as a spinal fusion.
