DIAM Interspinous Spacers

Spinal stenosis is a condition caused by the narrowing of the spinal canal. In medical terms, stenosis refers to the narrowing of a passage or canal. An interspinous device is a minimally invasive implant that is placed between two spinous processes in the lower part of the spine. The interspinous device increases the distance between the processes, relieving symptoms of spinal stenosis.

The Device for Intervertebral Assisted Motion (DIAM) spinal stabilization system is designed to alleviate pain in patients with stenosis by acting as a spacer, restoring the natural height of the intervertebral disc and associated structures, allowing the nerve to freely exit the spinal cord while maintaining normal spinal movement. Made of hard silicone covered with polyethylene, it has two ligatures for fixation.

The DIAM stabilization system eliminates the need for fusion in some patients and can serve as an alternative to fusion in others. The device is designed to allow normal spinal movement. Additionally, the device for intervertebral assisted motion can help protect the spine against mechanical stress that can cause further degeneration of discs near the operated area.
