About this trial
This is a traditional feasibility study (TFS) study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the PerQdisc. The study is prospective, multicenter, and open label.
After a screening period, qualified participants will be enrolled and treated with the PerQdisc. Patients will not be blinded to their treatment. Participants will then complete the safety follow-up period.
