Coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization®

The Coflex device is a single-piece titanium implant that is strong and flexible to give the spine the support it needs following decompressive spine surgery.

What is Coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® ?

Coflex® Interlaminar Stabilization® Technology is an interlaminar functionally dynamic implant designed to impart a stabilization effect at the operative level(s) after a decompression surgery while retaining natural motion. It consists of a single, U-shaped component, fabricated from medical grade titanium alloy. In clinical use, the “U” is positioned horizontally, with its apex oriented anteriorly and the two long arms of the “U” paralleling the long axis of the spinal processes. The implant bears load on interlaminar bone, and compresses upon spinal extension. The bone-facing surfaces are ridged to provide resistance to migration. The design and location of the device in the patient’s spine helps to maintain foraminal height and off-loads facets to reduce both leg and back pain.
