Default Interspinous Spacers (Stenosis)

Here is a new percutaneous interspinous device similar to the X-stop. It seems interesting, but there is only a limited retrospective case series at this time. I tried to attach it, but it was too big...

Percutaneous Lumbar Interspinous Decompression Spacer: Indications, Surgical Technique and Preliminary Results


Any thoughts?

Here's another device that is currently in clinical trials for spinal stenosis:

Investigational Device for Patients With Lumbar Spinal Stenosis: The VertiFlex Superion Interspinous Spacer

This study is actively enrolling study subjects, as noted on the Clinical Trials website: click here. The control in the study is the X-Stop.

This looks very interesting for those with stenosis...
