Discover Cervical Disc
 

Here's the Broshure for the Discover artificial cervical disc its not currently approved by the FDA for use in the US but it is going through FDA trials. I couldn't find anything online and even contacted Depuy but becuase they are currently in trials they couldn't send me this. My doc in Malaysia got it for me. Hope it helps :)

DuPuy (JNJ) HIP implant troubles
 

This is from the UK Daily Mail so take it with two grains of salt
1) The Daily Mail can print iffy stuff on slow news days
2) They may be bashing a US supplier to favor a home grown company

(but they occasionally print stuff months 'before its news')

I note this refers to their HIP implants. Still, anyone with one may be questioned about this and may want to be aware.
