Product
Interspinous spacers are medical devices used to treat spinal stenosis and relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. These devices are designed to be implanted between the spinous processes of the vertebrae in the lumbar region of the spine. The main function of interspinous spacers is to help maintain the space between the vertebrae, preventing compression of the spinal nerves. These spacers are available in different materials such as titanium, stainless steel, and polymer-based composites, offering varying degrees of strength and flexibility.
Application
The primary application of interspinous spacers is in the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis, a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can lead to pressure on the spinal nerves and cause pain, weakness, and numbness in the lower back and legs. Interspinous spacers are also used in the management of degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and spinal instability. These devices provide stability to the spine and help alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions, allowing patients to regain mobility and improve their quality of life.
End-User
Interspinous spacers are used by a range of healthcare providers, including orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, and pain management specialists. These medical professionals are responsible for diagnosing spinal conditions and recommending appropriate treatment options for their patients. In addition, hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers are key end-users of interspinous spacers, providing facilities for the surgical implantation of these devices. As the demand for minimally invasive spine surgeries continues to rise, the adoption of interspinous spacers is expected to increase among both healthcare providers and end-users.
