Product Overview

The U-Spine Technology is an inter-laminar functionally dynamic implant designed to impart a stabilization effect at the operative level. It consists of a single, U-shaped component, fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V, per ASTM F136). In clinical use, the "U" is positioned horizontally, with its apex oriented anteriorly and the two long arms of the "U" paralleling the long axis of the spinal processes. The bone-facing surfaces are ridged to provide resistance to migration.

Intended Use

The U-Spine is an interlaminar stabilization device indicated for use in one or two level lumbar stenosis from L1-L5 in skeletally mature patients with at least moderate impairment in function, who experience relief in flexion from their symptoms of leg/buttocks/groin pain, with or without back pain, and who have undergone at least 6 months of non-operative treatment. The implant is intended to be implanted midline between adjacent lamina of 1 or 2 contiguous lumbar motion segments. Inter laminar stabilization is performed after decompression of stenosis at the affected level(s)
