We offer products such as spinal fracture management & repair, disc disease diagnosis & therapies, and spinal motion preservation. Our products are used in balloon kyphoplasty for the treatment of spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis or cancer, in the functional anesthetic discographyT procedure for diagnosing the source of low back pain, and in interspinous process decompression for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis.
