HydroCision SpineJet HydroDiscectomy System
The SpineJet HydroDiscectomy System enables a minimally invasive approach to predictably and safely perform disc decompression procedures. This device is specifically designed to deliver a nonthermal stream of saline at controlled velocities to remove disc nucleus while sparing outer annulus and vertebral endplates. It has the advantage of preventing cutting of annular fibers which can reduce the rate of re-herniations. In addition, this device simultaneously cuts and aspirates, resulting in shorter procedure times and the nonthermal fluidjet technology eliminates the risk of thermal tissue damage.
