“InSpan treats the underlying degenerative disc and facet joints that cause painful spinal stenosis and instability. It is an implant used in a minimally invasive technique for outpatient ambulatory surgery centers (ASC), to provide lasting relief. Inspan opens the spinal canal and the foramen to relieve nerve compression, restores disc height, decompresses and fixates the facet joints to immobilize them for the bony surfaces to fuse. InSpan avoids the need for pedicle screws or laminectomies both of which increase the risk for complications and adjacent segment breakdown requiring further surgery in the future.”
