Standard of Care
CLARIX™100
CLARIX CORD 1K
Subjects randomized to standard of care will undergo a traditional lumbar discectomy procedure without any additional interventions
Subjects randomized to the CLARIX™100 arm will undergo a traditional lumbar discectomy, after which CLARIX™100 will be applied to the affected site. The tissue will be applied to the annulus at the defect site as a patch just prior to wound closure.
