Dear Tim, glad to hear you are feeling better with each day. Please forgive the very late well wishes, as we were away on vacation and just got back.
Best wishes for continued recovery and be free off the collar soon.

Message from Spinal Kinetics
I know this is an older thread but with my upcoming surgery I have decided to contact Spinal Kinetics with some questions regarding design changes and device specific failures. Here is their response.
*** Your email regarding the M6-L has been forwarded to me. We are the exclusive Canadian distributor for Spinal Kinetics and their M6-C (cervical) and M6-L (lumbar) disc replacement systems. I have been in touch with Neal Defibaugh, VP Clinical/Regulatory Affairs at Spinal Kinetics about your questions pertaining to the M6-L implants. Mr Defibaugh has provided me with their response to your questions as follows:
In Canada, we now have just under three years of experience with both the M6-C and M6-L systems with no issues pertaining to the nucleus of either system. I do hope the information I have provided will satisfy your concerns. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance in this regard.
