Dekompressor disc removal system
Smart technology for quantifiable results
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.2-3 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
