One product is the coflex(TM) device, a posterior non-fusion interspinous dynamically-functional implant, which has a long clinical history of over a decade of use and has been implanted in more than 15,000 patients suffering from low back pain and lumbar spinal stenosis.

It is a revolutionary product that could potentially help the lives of tens of thousands of children each year. |
