Interventional Spine (IS), which designs, develops and markets patented implantable devices for the spine that can be deployed via percutaneous techniques, has completed another surgery with the Perpos Percutaneous Cervical System for the treatment of neck pain.
IS said that the Perpos Percutaneous Cervical System stabilises the posterior cervical spine with a percutaneous procedure, which will minimise intra and post-operative patient morbidity, reduce procedure time and provide cost efficiencies to hospitals and surgeons alike.
The Perpos Percutaneous Cervical System includes a 3.8mm CS Facet compression device which is indicated for the treatment of spondylolisthesis, spondylolysis, degenerative disc disease (DDD), degeneration of the facets with instability and fracture, Pseudoarthrosis, and also for patients that have failed previous fusion of the cervical spine.
IS said that the system use is to stabilise the spine as an aid to fusion through bilateral immobilisation of the facet joints via bilateral facet fixation, with or without bone graft, at single or multiple levels from C2 to S1.
IS chief executive officer Walter Cuevas said that the Perpos Percutaneous Cervical System has some key patented attributes which make it unique among other posterior cervical systems in the market.
