St. Paul, Minn.-based Spineology Inc. has been awarded a U.S. patent for a percutaneous spinal interbody fusion system and the proprietary method that goes along with it.
Reducing surgical invasiveness has been shown to reduce post-operative discomfort and long-term morbidity leading to reduced hospitalization and quicker patient recovery. This patent covers methods of performing percutaneous spinal fusion procedures through an opening of less than one centimeter, company officials report.
“The implant and instrumentation methods covered in this patent exemplify Spineology’s commitment to the development of a truly anatomy-conserving technology product platform,” said CEO John Booth.
“Percutaneous spinal access, discectomy, and fusion preserves anatomy, more so than any other surgical methodology,” said Vice President for Research and Development Karen Roche. “Preservation of bone, nerve and muscle significantly reduces surgical morbidity and can greatly aid in the improvement of surgical outcomes.”
