Invamed introduces the Discectomy Device, a sterile single-use system engineered to remove disc material and prepare endplates in a controlled, minimally invasive manner. Featuring a suction-curette design for effective disc clearance, along with an optional RFA ablation modality, this device aims to reduce procedural time, improve patient outcomes, and mitigate the risk of residual disc fragments or incomplete decompression.
All-in-One Suction-Curette Mechanism
- Integrates curettage action and suction in one slender device, enabling immediate debris removal while scraping away degenerated disc tissue.
- Minimizes the number of instrument exchanges, enhancing procedural workflow and reducing potential contamination risk.
Minimally Invasive Disc Clearing
- Precisely designed for percutaneous or small-incision approaches, minimizing trauma to surrounding spinal tissues.
- Ideal for lumbar or cervical disc decompressions where preserving healthy structures and reducing downtime are paramount.
RFA Ablation Capability
- Optional Radiofrequency Ablation tip can be activated post-debridement to ablate residual annular tears or disc fragments, potentially reducing re-herniation rates.
- Delivers targeted energy to the disc environment, supporting pain relief by denervating or shrinking local nerve endings.
Enhanced Endplate Preparation
- The distal curette geometry is optimized for scraping endplate surfaces, helping surgeons prepare a clean interface for subsequent fusions or implants (if applicable).
- Ensures thorough disc material removal, mitigating infection or persistent disc debris that can hamper healing.
Single-Use, Sterile-Packed Convenience
- Supplied in a sealed, sterile configuration, eliminating reprocessing steps and ensuring consistent performance from device to device.
- Disposable design lowers cross-contamination risk and upholds standardized device integrity for every procedure.
Clinical Indications
- Discogenic back or neck pain with contained herniations, degenerative disc disease, or small disc extrusions.
- Adjunct to fusion surgeries requiring meticulous endplate cleaning.
- Potential synergy with intradiscal therapies where partial decompression plus RFA ablation supports improved patient outcomes.
