The term sterilization refers to any procedure that helps in destroying all forms of microbial life and transmissible agents. Transmissible agents are bacteria, fungi, spore forms and virus. These micro-organisms and transmissible agents are present on the surface of medical instruments, contained in medication, fluid and biological culture media. Sterilization helps in making these culture media infection free by applying heat, pressure, chemical and filtration. This process disables the infectious protein like prions of the micro-organism and hence results in infection free medium.

Inception of non-fusion technologies into spinal surgery has improved outcomes by providing patients to retain at least some movement and flexibility in the spine. The global market for spinal nonfusion technologies comprises of disc arthroplasty, nuclear arthroplasty and nuclear disc prostheses. These artificial discs are composed of metal, soft plastic like materials or a combination of both such as medical grade plastic and medical grade cobalt chromium or titanium alloy enabling flexibility to spine. Disc arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which degenerated spinal discs are replaced by artificial discs in order to treat severe back pain resulting from degenerative invertebral discs.

Spinal laminoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to remove pressure from the spinal cord. In laminoplasy, an extra space is made in the spinal canal by creating a gate or opening in the lamina of the vertebrae for the ease of spinal cord movement. This procedure is recommended, when a patient is having pain due to compression of spinal cord against the wall of spinal canal. Laminoplasty is a preferred procedure over laminectomy as it does not involve the removal of lamina from the spine. When laminoplasty involves only one vertebra, it is known as single level and when involves more than one, called as multilevel.
