I am unclear on what the holdup is with the Maverick disc. Many here that have these discs report favorable results. I have two of them in my lower spine and feel great. I know Medtronic as a company has done some unethical things that have come to the forefront concerning BMP but, don't know about the Maverick's status. To me the theory seemed very sound about the placement of the disc.
I did find the following on the Maverick but, would not read much in to it as far as when the date of release will be:

I hope she gets the relief she needs and deserves.
