Interspinous Spacer Market Driven by Increasing Prevalence of Spinal Stenosis Due to Aging, Arthritis, Heredity
Albany, NY — (SBWIRE) — 06/05/2017 — Interspinous spacers sometimes also called as Interspinous process decompression systems, are the devices implanted between vertebral spinous processes. These spacers are made up of a very strong but lightweight metal (titanium) which is biocompatible in the human body. These devices are imbedded in body to confine painful motion else enabling normal motion and to treat lumbar spinal stenosis, discogenic low-back pain, facet syndrome, disc herniations, and non-traumatic instability.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a thinning of the spinal canal in the lower back which causes compression on nerves and it is developed gradually with age. Radiology tests are used to confirm a diagnosis of moderate degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis. People with lumbar spinal stenosis experience pain but may also have weakness in their leg, lower back and buttocks, numbness, tingling.

The Interspinous spacer are implanted between those vertebrae in such a way that it prevents the patient from bending too far backward which causes pain by surgical procedure. The procedure is very small and sometimes patient can go home within a day.
The increasing prevalence of spinal stenosis due to aging, arthritis, heredity and increased demand of surgical procedures that improved lifestyle and comfort will drive the Interspinous spacer market. The adoption of spacers are increasing due to low complication rate as compared to decompression and spinal fusion. The Interspinous spacers are widely used in geriatric population as per Medicare data due to old age patient are not comfortable with surgery due to their health conditions.
The Interspinous spacer market is segmented as device type, end user and geography. The product type segment is further divided in two type’s statics or compressible and dynamic or non-compressible respectively. The examples of static devices include X STOP, ExtenSure and Wallis implants. These are made up of non-compressible material such as bone, metal or synthetics. The devices produce constant amount of distraction between the spinous processes due to their non-compressible nature. Dynamic Interspinous spacer devices have a degree of compressibility.
