About Triadyme-C
Triadyme-C is a motion-preserving artificial cervical disc that emulates the complex coupled motion of a natural spinal disc while providing stability throughout the range of motion. The device is unique in the market due to its innovative composition, which utilizes a proprietary polycrystalline diamond material, and its patented Tri-Lobe articulating design. The exceptional durability of polycrystalline diamond virtually eliminates the risks of disc wear and debris for the lifetime of the patient. At the same time, the Tri-Lobe design mimics the natural kinematics and motion of a normal disc.

About Dymicron 
Dymicron, Inc. is a privately held, innovative medical technology company that is advancing a new generation of musculoskeletal implant devices made from polycrystalline diamond (PCD) — one of the strongest substances known to man, and a material for which Dymicron has exclusive patented use for all medical applications in the human body.
