The purpose of these devices is to relieve back pain by repositioning the vertebrae through minimally invasive surgical procedures. Interspinous process decompression devices are a form of dynamic stabilisation device used in non-fusion spinal surgery that is designed to be permanently implanted between two interspinous processes in the lower spine without screws or metal being attached to the bone or ligaments.
interspinous process decompression devices are preferred over traditional spinal surgeries such as laminectomy because of the high prevalence of degenerative spinal disorders due to an ageing population and its advantages such as motion preservation, less blood loss, reduced infection risk, and outpatient surgical facility. X-STOP, DIAM (Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion), Coflex, and Wallis are some of the most prominent interspinous process decompression devices on the market. New product introductions, rising prevalence of spinal illnesses, and a growing pool of senior population are all driving the interspinous process decompression device forward.
