About VIA Disc® NP
If you're living with chronic low back pain, there's hope. VIA Disc® NP is a cutting-edge treatment designed to help patients suffering from intervertebral disc degeneration—a common cause of persistent pain in the spine. This minimally invasive procedure could be the solution you've been searching for.
What is VIA Disc® NP?
VIA Disc® NP is the first and only nucleus pulposus (NP) allograft specifically created to support the cushioning function of the intervertebral disc (IVD). It helps restore tissue lost due to disc degeneration, offering patients a natural, non-surgical option for relief.
Key Features of VIA Disc® NP
- Mimics Healthy Nucleus Pulposus
- The NP is the central part of your spinal disc, containing about 80% water in its native state. VIA Disc® NP retains this natural, water-rich structure, which is essential for its cushioning ability.
- After being reconstituted with saline, the tissue returns to its original mechanical state, helping your spine regain flexibility and shock absorption.
- Proprietary NP Allograft
- Optimized particle size: The NP tissue is carefully processed to ensure the perfect size for percutaneous (through the skin) delivery, maximizing effectiveness.
- Hydrophilic and viscous properties: Once reconstituted, the allograft becomes gel-like, similar to the natural NP tissue, allowing it to provide mechanical cushioning and support for the spine.
- Minimally Invasive Procedure
- VIA Disc® NP is delivered through a simple outpatient procedure with light to moderate sedation. A 20G spinal needle is used, making it a quick, minimally invasive option that preserves your anatomy.
- Using advanced fluoroscopic imaging, your doctor will guide the allograft directly to the damaged disc area, making the entire process precise and safe.
- Ready-to-Use Solution
- VIA Disc® NP comes ready for use with simple storage at ambient temperature (2°C to 30°C), ensuring that your procedure can happen at your convenience without complex preparation.
How Does VIA Disc® NP Work?
The intervertebral disc consists of three parts:
- Nucleus Pulposus: The core, rich in water and proteoglycans, allows for load distribution and cushioning of the spine.
- Anulus Fibrosus: The outer ring that provides strength and flexibility to the disc.
- Cartilaginous Endplate: This supports nutrient diffusion to the disc.
With degeneration, the nucleus pulposus loses its water-binding capacity, leading to decreased disc function, reduced flexibility, and chronic pain. VIA Disc® NP addresses this by restoring the nucleus pulposus, helping to recover the spine's mechanical properties.
Why Choose VIA Disc® NP?
- Mechanical Cushioning Support: The hydrophilic properties of VIA Disc® NP allograft support the disc’s ability to cushion the spine, just like natural NP tissue.
- Retained Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Content: GAGs within proteoglycans are essential for maintaining the water-retention and viscoelastic properties of the NP, critical for disc function.
VIA Disc® NP is a non-surgical, minimally invasive option designed to restore spinal function and relieve pain.
Donor Screening and Safety
The tissue used for VIA Disc® NP is sourced from qualified donors following rigorous safety standards set by the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB) and FDA regulations. Each donor undergoes extensive screening, including a physical examination, medical record review, and serology testing, ensuring the highest level of safety and reliability.
