Paradigm Spine Announces Company Activities And Three Podium Presentations Highlighting coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® At ISASS 2018

NEW YORK, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Paradigm Spine, LLC, a leader in providing motion preservation solutions for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis, today announced its Company activities and scientific podium presentations on coflex^® Interlaminar Stabilization^® at the upcoming 2018 International Society for the Advancement of Spine Surgery (ISASS), being held April 11-13 in Toronto, Canada. coflex® is the only posterior lumbar motion preservation solution with proven long-term outcomes for durable pain relief and stability for patients with moderate to severe spinal stenosis.

“Now backed by two sets of Level I Evidence, coflex is the leading lumbar device shown to significantly maintain foraminal height, increase walking distance, and lower risk of secondary intervention, while still allowing patients a natural range of movement,” said Marc Viscogliosi, Chairman and CEO of Paradigm Spine. “These proven long-term and durable results indicate that surgeons can be more confident when backing up their decompressions for spinal stenosis patients and when additional stabilization is required. We are pleased to be demonstrating the unique capabilities of coflex during three podium presentations, an industry symposium and an interactive workshop at this year’s meeting.”

About Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS)
Lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), affecting 1.6 million patients annually in the United States, is a debilitating and degenerative disease often associated with significant leg and back pain, leg numbness and weakness, and significant reduction in an active lifestyle. Historically, the two traditional surgical treatment options for LSS included decompression alone or decompression with lumbar fusion.  Decompression alone has proven effective at relieving pain symptoms caused by lumbar spinal stenosis, however, patients may not experience long term symptomatic relief, resulting in subsequent epidural injections for pain management, or additional surgeries for conversion to a fusion. Decompression with fusion has proven to provide pain relief and stabilize the diseased segment, but may lead to adjacent level disease requiring subsequent surgeries.

About Paradigm Spine, LLC:
Paradigm Spine, LLC, founded in 2004, is a privately held company and remains focused on the design and development of solutions for the disease management of spinal stenosis.  The Company’s signature product is the coflex^® Interlaminar Stabilization^® device, which is currently used in over 60 countries worldwide. coflex is the only lumbar spinal device that has produced Level I evidence in two separate prospective, randomized, controlled studies against two different control groups, changing the standard of care for lumbar spinal stenosis treatment.
