FloSpine’s new minimally invasive KeyLift™ implant will potentially offer a unique solution to this problem, which may eliminate the traditional placement of screws and rods in a patient’s spine to correct spinal stenosis and relieve pain.
In addition, due to the smaller incision required for the KeyLift™ device, the procedure may be performed on an out-patient basis in an Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC). Patients may be discharged after a couple of hours following the procedure and may immediately feel some pain relief.
Here are some of KeyLift’s™ specs:
- The KeyLift™ Device may be inserted through a small incision (about 2 inches). This leads to faster patient recovery and less blood loss
- Fits in-between the laminar of the spine. This is advantageous as the bone is thicker in this region, less chance of bone cracking
Spinal Stenosis occurs when a patient’s disc starts to collapse causing the existing nerve roots and spinal cord to get pinched. The KeyLift™ is designed to restore the height between the 2 affected vertebrae, thereby releasing the pinched nerves and bringing relief to the patient.
- We feel it is the only expandable interlaminar implant on the market that can expand in-situ. 4mm of expansion is available.
- The KeyLift™ implants are available in a variety of sizes allowing the surgeon to choose the best anatomical fit for the patient.
- Anti-migration ridges on the implants that can prevent dislodgement
- Proposed in 2 different lengths and 4 different heights. This can give the surgeon a choice of implants to fit the patient’s anatomy.
