| Description |
|
Applied Spine Technologies (AST) develops the Stabilimax NZ to treat chronic lower back pain. |
 |
| Products / Services |
Stabilimax NZ is a posterior Flexible Stabilization system designed to support an injured or degenerated spine while preserving spine motion and flexibility
|
 |
| Technology / Differentiation |
| Requiring no tissue removal or replacement, the Stabilimax NZ device is a substantially less invasive option for many of the patients who are currently offered fusion or disc replacement. |
 |
| Market / Customers |
Of the 30 million patients who report back pain annually in the U.S., over 4.5 million fail conservative treatment and approximately 500,000 of them undergo surgery of the lumbar spine. Currently, worldwide revenues of spine implant devices, virtually all of which are for fusion, are estimated to exceed $2.2 billion.
