The device addresses spinal stenosis and is designed to be a less invasive alternative. It can expand up to 4mm in hight and promotes disc health by balancing the intervertebral discs.
“As a spine surgeon of over 25 years, I believe this technology will reach more patients by enabling more interventional physicians to treat mild to moderate spinal stenosis without the fear of a large surgery,” Cheng-Lun Soo, MD, co-inventor of the device, said in the release.
