SpineJack®4, an innovative implant for
treating Vertebral Compression Fractures
The SpineJack® is
designed to restore a fractured vertebra to its original shape, restore
the spinal column’s optimal anatomy and thus remove pain and enable the
patient to recover their functional capabilities. Thanks to a
specialized range of instruments, inserting the implants into the
vertebra is carried out by minimally invasive surgery, guided by X-ray,
in approximately 30 minutes, which is intended to enable the patient to
be discharged shortly after surgery. The SpineJack® range consists of 3
titanium implants with 3 different diameters, thus covering 95% of
vertebral compression fractures and all patient morphologies. SpineJack®
technology benefits from the support of international scientific experts
in the field of spine surgery and worldwide patent protection through to
2029.
