ABSOLUTE GEL IS A SOFT GEL PROSTHESIS, WHICH IS INJECTED TO THE DISC WITH A FINE SPINAL NEEDLE IN THE NUCLEUS PULPOSUS FOR THE TREATMENT OF HERNIATED DISC

Absolute Gel is a Soft Flexible Implant, which is injected to the disc with a fine spinal needle in nucleus pulposus for the treatment of Herniated Disc. It comprises of ethanol with cellulose derivatives and nanoparticles of tungsten (radiopaque component)to form a radiopaque implantable medical device.

In other words, Absolute Gel-A liquid gel is converted into a Flexible Permanent Implant after coming in contact with water contact of nucleus pulposus, that causes Dehydration of Nucleus Pulposus which leads to retraction of herniated disc and thus releases pressure from the pinched nerve.

It has a unique property to Gelification as it comes in contact with water content of nucleus pulposus.

Absolute has a hydrophilic quality, which will attract fluid from a hernia towards the center of the nucleus, decompressing the disc and releasing the pressure of the nerve. The main action of Absolute Gel is to block nerve receptors within annulus by sealing the cracks in the ring so that the nucleus pulposus does not come in contact with the spinal nerve.

This is the primary cause of pain when the nucleus flows through the weakened interior part ofannulus irritating the nerves within and causing inflammation. Reducing and eventually stopping inflammation enables the self-healing of the disc to happen undisrupted. Since absolute penetrates into the damaged area of ruptured discs, it becomes permanent Prosthesis, there is, therefore, no risk of dislocation and movement. As a result most patients have their pain reduced up to 80% the following day and hernias disappear.
