New possibilities through dynamic stabilization
Think about your spine: it has to keep you upright and stable;
yet at the same time, it must give you the flexibility to bend and
twist. The coflex® device is intended to provide
relief from the narrowing of the spinal canal and restore some of
the stability lost through aging, while also offering the possibility
of returning the spine to a more normal physiology.
This device is “investigational,” meaning that it is
currently the subject of a clinical research study conducted under
the terms of the medical protocol and approved by the U.S. government’s
Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
How does coflex work?
The coflex device is an implant designed to be surgically placed
between the spinous processes (the part of the spine extending from
the back of the spine, which can frequently be felt through the
skin along the center of the back) following a spinal decompression.
Once implanted, the coflex can increase the space in the spinal
canal by restoring the distance between the vertebrae and creating
larger openings through which the nerve roots can pass, thereby
helping to mitigate the symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis, including
the pain, weakness and other abnormal sensations.
