Percutaneous Discectomy
DEKOMPRESSOR
The Dekompressor is a single-use probe intended for percutaneous discectomies in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions of the spine. Under fluoroscopic imaging, the Dekompressor utilizes an Archimedes pump principle to remove disc material from bulging or contained herniated discs, reducing pressure in the disc and surrounding area and providing pain relief.
Features & Benefits
- A discectomy using the Dekompressor® is a low-risk procedure for leg pain (radicuclar) that may eliminate the need for traditional surgical intervention. Key advantages include:
- Highly efficient, with a 90% success rate
- Minimally invasive, causing less perineural scarring and postoperative fibrosis
- Fewer cases of permanent structural alteration
