Inspan SLIM Spinous Process Plate System’s low profile design gives it a minimal footprint within the patient. Its dual interlocking hub and dual set screws provide a rigid design. Its titanium composition supplies strength for fixation.
Features:
- Titanium implants provide superior strength and fixation
- Low profile design minimizes implant footprint within the patient
- Cylindrical hub provide spinous process distraction
- Dual interlocking hub with dual set screws provides rigid design
- Spikes are staggered to help prevent fracture and provide optimal fixation
- Adapts to the anatomy of T1-S1
- Easy to insert dual locking hub design
About Interspinous Devices
Interspinous spacers sometimes also called as Interspinous process decompression systems, are the devices implanted between vertebral spinous processes. These spacers are made up of a very strong but lightweight metal (titanium) which is biocompatible in the human body. These devices are imbedded in body to confine painful motion else enabling normal motion and to treat lumbar spinal stenosis, discogenic low-back pain, facet syndrome, disc herniations, and non-traumatic instability. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a thinning of the spinal canal in the lower back which causes compression on nerves and it is developed gradually with age. Radiology tests are used to confirm a diagnosis of moderate degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. People with lumbar spinal stenosis experience pain but may also have weakness in their leg, lower back and buttocks, numbness, tingling.
The Interspinous spacer are implanted between those vertebrae in such a way that it prevents the patient from bending too far backward which causes pain by surgical procedure. The procedure is very small and sometimes patient can go home within a day.The increasing prevalence of spinal stenosis due to aging, arthritis, heredity and increased demand of surgical procedures that improved lifestyle and comfort will drive the Interspinous spacer market. The adoption of spacers are increasing due to low complication rate as compared to decompression and spinal fusion. The Interspinous spacers are widely used in geriatric population as per Medicare data due to old age patient are not comfortable with surgery due to their health conditions.
