The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, nutrients and oxygen transporting through the endplates diminish. The disc degenerates, and pain ensues. Conduits are delivered through a pedicle or vertebral body into the intervertebral disc to re-establish the exchange of nutrients and waste between the disc and bodily circulation to slow, stop or reverse disc degeneration and relieve pain. Endplate plugs may be deployed to seal gaps between the conduits and the endplates to prevent immune responses to the nucleus pulposus and to preserve the hydrostatic pressure within the disc.

Le disque intervertébral est avasculaire. Avec l'âge, les nutriments et l'oxygène transportés à travers les plaques finales diminuent. Le disque dégénère, et la douleur apparaît. Des conduits sont administrés à travers un pédicule ou un corps vertébral dans le disque intervertébral, de manière à rétablir l'échange de nutriments et de déchets entre le disque et la circulation corporelle de manière à ralentir, arrêter ou inverser la dégénérescence du disque et d'atténuer la douleur. Les broches des plaques motrices peuvent être déployées pour fermer des intervalles entre les conduits et les plaques motrices, de manière à empêcher des réponses immunitaires au noyau pulpeux et pour préserver la pression hydrostatique à l'intérieur du disque.
