The Artificial Cervical Intervertebral Disc (ACID) is a type of orthopedic device used to replace a damaged or degenerated cervical disc in the spine. It is designed to restore the natural motion of the spine and reduce pain. The ACID is made of a metal core surrounded by a cushioning material, such as polyethylene, and is designed to mimic the natural motion of the spine. It is implanted between two vertebrae and is secured with screws and plates. The ACID market is a rapidly growing segment of the orthopedic device industry. It is driven by the increasing prevalence of degenerative disc disease, as well as the need for more effective treatments for spinal disorders. The ACID market is expected to continue to grow as more patients seek out this type of treatment. Some of the major players in the ACID market include Medtronic, Stryker, Zimmer Biomet, DePuy Synthes, and Globus Medical. Show Less Read more
