ZimVie Inc. announced that the French Republic has published its approval for the reimbursement of the Mobi-C(R) Cervical Disc in both the public and private sectors in France. In addition, the clinical data for Mobi-C was awarded the highest quality rating of 10A by the Orthopaedic Data Evaluation Panel in the United Kingdom. Physicians have used Mobi-C, ZimVie's market-leading device for cervical disc replacement at one level or two contiguous levels, to treat patients in France and the U.K. since 2004.

Its rating is comprised of several components: The numerical portion of the rating indicates the number of years of clinical evidence, with ten years representing full compliance with the benchmark from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), which provides national guidance and advice to improve health and social care in the United Kingdom. The "A" designates "Strong Evidence" based on a generally higher number of patients (giving greater confidence in the results presented), with all patients being subject to follow-up (their outcomes recorded). Finally, the addition of the star denotes a benchmark replacement rate of less than 1 in 20 (5%) at 10 years.

There is no higher quality rating than A.
