Stryker Dekompressor
The Stryker Dekompressor disc removal system is one such minimally invasive procedure used to reduce a herniated disc. The procedure uses a small needle to reach the disc, eliminating the need for an incision. This lack of incision means less damage to nearby muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as potentially less post-operative pain. Most patients undergoing this technique do not require general sedation and can go home the same day.
