Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) is a debilitating condition affecting over 1.2 million patients a year in the U.S. alone. Vertos Medical's proprietary platform technology, mild, is the first therapeutic option to provide rapid and lasting pain relief from LSS, as well as significantly improved mobility.
Cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for decompression of the lumbar spine, mild removes small portions of the bone and tissue reducing the pressure on the nerves through a low-risk posterior approach. The entire procedure takes place using a 5.1 mm mild Portal, only about the diameter of a pencil.
The safe, therapeutic nature of the mild procedure allows for shorter in-patient therapy and recovery time compared to other open surgical treatment options such as laminotomy, laminectomy and spinal fusion for LSS. Patients who undergo mild are typically discharged the day of the procedure.
The mild procedure can be performed using fluoroscopic guidance in an outpatient setting under local anesthesia or MAC support.
Initial clinical data for mild indicate a significant reduction in pain and increase in mobility.
Vertos Medical remains dedicated to providing solutions to help patients suffering from symptomatic spinal conditions.
