Summary

This study is testing a device called DISC Care, which is implanted during lumbar disc hernia surgery to prevent the hernia from coming back. Researchers are enrolling 30 people aged 18 to 75 who have a disc hernia between L4 and S1 and have not improved with other treatments. Participants will be followed for two years to see if the device is safe and reduces the chance of recurrence.
