I think he uses a variety of discs. The discs that each doctor use are the discs that they are the most comfortable with and have trained to put in. If you request a disc that he has not trained to put in he will not use it.
Do you have another disc in mind? If you do what are the advantages or disadvantages over the prodisc? I know that the Bryan has been recently approved here in the states and offers advantages over prodisc but I'm not sure if Dr. B uses it.
