What is the activL Artificial Disc?

The Aesculap ActivL Artificial Disc is designed to move as you move during daily activities. It consists of two endplates made of a cobalt-chromium metal alloy with a titanium coating and a high density polyethylene insert that fits in between.

ActivL is designed to closely mimic the natural biomechanics of the healthy human spine. ActivL has a mobile, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene core that combines natural motion with mechanical stability, allowing translational and rotational movement.
