Kevin Pauza MD, invented the Discseel^® Procedure to repair damaged spinal discs. The procedure uses FDA-approved Fibrin which is a 100% natural biologic to repair and seal damaged spinal discs. Spine surgery, including spinal fusions, can't repair damaged discs. Pauza first used Fibrin in trauma in it's FDA approved indication for: facial reconstriction; for splenic repair following blunt trauma; and to control cardiac bleeding. Pauza next developed the Discseel^® Procedure which uses Fibrin in an "off-label" manner to repair spinal discs. The FDA allows the use of FDA approved Fibrin in an off-label manner in the disc because no other treatment exists, and there's a need to treat damaged discs. The FDA determined that Fibrin is safe and effective in other indications. 

Nothing else exists to repair spinal discs. Surgeons have attempted sutures or ligature to repair discs without success.  Stem cells and PRP fail to reliably help because they leak from damaged discs. Often people suffering from Degenerative Disc Disease are plagued with back pain from one or more torn discs, which inflame nerves within the discs as well as the adjacent spinal nerve causing back pain and leg pain or neck and arm pain. When a disc leaks, over time it can lose hydration and become degenerated. The Discseel^® Procedure uses a Fibrin biologic to repair the damaged, torn dics, allowing an individual's body to replace the damaged cells with new cells. Essentially, the goal of the Discseel^® Procedure is for the Fibrin biologic to seal and instigate healthy, new disc tissue growth where the tissue is torn, in effort to stop the disc from leaking, and no longer inflamming the nerves. Studies affirm that Fibrin seals discs returning them to normal mechanical strength. Fibrin sealant can allow stem cells and growth factors to stay and help a disc that would otherwise leak.
