Does anybody know what kind of device this is?

I am a 52 yo female.
Best wishes from California. I have no idea what kind of device was used. May I please suggest ask the surgeon about the device brand/mfg when the staples are removed?

There are a couple of approved Cervical Artificial Discs in the United States. Please don't feel alone about not knowing what kind of device was put in place. My next-door neighbor got a Cervical ADR after some discussions.

My neighbor did not know which device was put in her neck. She knows that now she can sleep at night and she had two (2) children since the surgery.
