Dekompressor disc removal system
Our Dekompressor system helps relieve pain caused by contained disc herniations through a procedure called percutaneous discectomy.(1) You can measurably and selectively extract disc material without annular or nuclear disruption.(2,5)
Features
You may be able to use the removed material for disc biopsies. Multiple clinical studies show that percutaneous discectomies using our Dekompressor System are successful for 90% of patients.3 This minimally invasive procedure reduces pressure on the nerve root by removing disc nucleus.
Removes quantifiable disc material
No capital equipment required
No thermal damage to the nerve root
Provides sample for biopsy
