New Published Data
Treatment with Spinalogic following lumbar fusion surgery was observed to significantly improve fusion rates compared to patients that received no stimulation.4
SPINALOGIC™
CMF treatment associated with
97%
lumbar fusion compared to 62% patients that received no stim.4
Peer reviewed results show
that smokers treated with CMF were reported to have higher fusion Rates than smokers that did not receive stimulation.
