Founded in 2003, Spinal Kinetics is a privately-held medical device company focused on partnering with spine surgeons to develop innovative and practical motion preservation systems for treating degenerative diseases of the spine. The M6 artificial disc is the first of these non-fusion motion preservation products intended to replicate the anatomic and biomechanical attributes of a natural intervertebral disc. The M6 is the only artificial disc that mimics a natural disc’s design by incorporating an artificial nucleus and annulus into both its cervical and lumbar platforms.
