LimiFlex Spinal Stabilization System

The LimiFlex Spinal Stabilization System provides minimally invasive, flexion restricting stabilization.

During surgery, the surgeon will typically perform other standard surgical procedures before implanting the LimiFlex to stabilize your spine. For example, your surgeon may perform a surgical decompression, carefully removing bone and soft tissue which are compressing nerves and causing symptoms. The LimiFlex may then be implanted to provide increased stability in flexion such that segments of your spine move in a more stable, controlled way when you bend forward. The LimiFlex is designed to remain permanently in place after the initial procedure.

The LimiFlex device consists of two dynamic (spring-like) titanium rods attached to each other by strong textile straps. The LimiFlex forms a loop around two spinous processes, the fin-like projections at the back of each vertebrae.

When you bend forward, your lumbar spine flexes and the spinous processes separate. By resisting this separation of the spinous processes, the LimiFlex stabilizes the flexion motion at the treated segment.

Use of the LimiFlex allows a surgeon to stabilize a spinal segment in the most important mode of motion, flexion, without requiring more invasive spinal fusion.
