    I'm wondering if anyone knows more about the Intralink solution and how it may differ from the DASCOR Nucleus Replacement solution. There is very little public information available on IntraLink. See FDA Sinks Disc Dynamics (DASCOR Disc Arthroplasty System)

    DASCOR is now out of business. See FDA Sinks Disc Dynamics (DASCOR Disc Arthroplasty System).

    I noticed that Hansen Yuan was listed in the DASCOR team. He is now the Clinical Trials Champion for Intralink, so I was wondering if there was a relationship. See http://www.intralinkllc.com/pdfs/Exe...201%202010.pdf.

    Thanks,

    Phil

    Damn....

    Hope this works...Sounds to good to be true...

    "NEXT uses a tissue revitalization reagent that can be injected into the spinal disc to mechanically reinforce and stabilize the joint and decompress the surrounding neural tissues without the need for invasive spinal surgery. NEXT is based on the body’s own natural response to repair instability and degradation of the spinal disc. The NEXT device instantly and directly strengthens and stabilizes the disc, reducing the pain of the patient without the costs and risks associated with surgery."
