Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS) • 1.2M+ LSS patients nationwide & LSS is expected to rise sharply over the next decade due to the maturing baby boomer generation. • LSS is a painful, degenerative, age‐related
narrowing of the spinal canal. The symptoms are exacerbated by activity, which leaves patients limited due to pain & immobility.
mild – A Percutaneous Decompression Laminotomy To Treat LSS FDA cleared and clinically proven procedure where more than ¾ of LSS patients experienced a greater than 50% reduction in pain and a greater than 30% improvement in mobility. This is an extremely safe outpatient procedure that typically requires no stitches and is performed through a portal smaller than the size of a baby aspirin.
