The Case Series, authored by Kai-Uwe Lewandrowski, M.D., details a novel endoscopic transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion technique using the VariLift-LX stand-alone expandable interbody fusion device. This surgical technique guide shows that it is feasible to perform a percutaneous endoscopically assisted transforaminal decompression and fusion ...
The Pivotal Trial supporting the PMA compares outcomes of patients who receive either LimiFlex or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) after decompression surgery. The trial previously exceeded its target of 135 LimiFlex patients enrolled into the investigational arm and 160 patients enrolled into the control arm of the trial. ...
The trial compares outcomes of patients who receive either LimiFlex or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) after decompression surgery. The trial has reached its target of 135 LimiFlex patients enrolled into the investigational arm of the trial; the control arm will continue enrolling subjects to its target of 160 patients. ...
The trial compares outcomes of patients who receive either LimiFlex or transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) after decompression surgery. The trial reached its target of 135 LimiFlex patients enrolled into the investigational arm of the trial in December 2019 and the control arm has achieved its target of 160 patients. ...
Recognized with FDA’s Breakthrough Device Designation, LimiFlex has the potential to offer grade 1 degen spondy patients a better solution compared to current options such as fusion. “We believe LimiFlex is an exciting advancement in stabilization surgery that uses a completely different concept for durable motion preservation to better meet the ...
