Delivery and Attachment Systems for Repairing Reherniated Intervertebral Discs
These mechanical attachments systems can help repair discectomy patients’ reherniated intervertebral disc (IVD) post-surgery and promote natural tissue healing. Nearly 400,000 discectomies are performed each year in the US to remove herniated IVD tissue fragments. However, reherniation is the most common complication from these surgeries, which...
