About DiscSeal

DiscSeal, delivered via a simple percutaneous injection, is a patented, proprietary formulation of biocompatible synthetic microspheres and a viscous carrier specifically designed for disc augmentation, thereby minimizing progression of internal disc disruption and disc degeneration disease, one of the most common causes of lower back pain. Initial results show that DiscSeal is safe and remains in the injected disc without extrusion, and the discs maintained their disc height.
