I discussed the Freedom Cervical and the Activ-C with Clavel when I was in Spain last month. This was my take away from that very brief discussion:
The Activ-C was shelved for a while for redesign. Whatever issues they had with the device may now be resolved and development is moving forward again. I do not know if there has even been any implants done (maybe?). Not being considered at this time.
The Freedom Cervical "looks promising" but there have been so few implantations of the device (I think less than 50 total - feel free to check my reference). He wants to see widespread success with the device before investigating for use with his patients.
