A step forward in dynamic stabilization:
the coflex® investigational implant
Paradigm Spine, LLC, is dedicated to providing non-fusion spinal
implant solutions that address the unmet clinical needs of spine
surgeons and their patients.
This commitment led to the development of the coflex Interspinous
Stabilization Device, an interspinous process functional dynamic
implant designed to create a stabilizing effect at the treated
level(s).
The device consists of a single, U-shaped component made of medical-grade
titanium alloy (Ti6A14V). In clinical use, the U is positioned
horizontally, with its apex oriented anteriorly and the two long
arms of the U paralleling the long axis of the spinous processes.
The bone-facing surfaces are ridged to resist migration.
Implantation of the coflex device requires minimal extension of
decompression surgery, and can usually be performed in 15 minutes
or less following the decompression portion of the procedure.
The coflex spine study is currently underway to assess the safety
and efficacy of the coflex device as compared to pedicle screw
fixation and spinal fusion.
For more information
on the coflex clinical research study, or to see if you might be
eligible to participate, call 1-866-493-9510 Mon–Thurs,
7am– 7pm and Fri, 7am– 6pm, CST.
CAUTION:
Investigational device. Limited by Federal (or United States) law
to investigational use.
