The Activ-L Lumbar artificial disc is a total lumbar disc replacement originally produced by Aesculap and FDA approved for single level disc arthroplasty in 2015. The disc is a 3rd generation disc composed of cobalt-chrome endplates with a titanium plasma sprayed coating along with a calcium-phospate top coating and a ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) semi-constrained core. The imaplant came as a spike-and-tooth or small keel option for enplate fixation. The polyethylene core locks into the inferior endplate
