About Falena Interspinous Decompression Device (Prod 9472)
Falena® is a small titanium and PEEK implant inserted during minimally invasive back surgery. It treats lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) providing patient pain relief and can be done under local anesthesia. The patented Falena® device is a winged structure manufactured in titanium with a "C" shaped spacer in PEEK OPTIMA® to extend a rigidity and elasticity similar to bone with high biocompatibility and wear resistance. The procedure is reversible with an average recovery time from two to seven weeks. Falena® limits the extension of the spine at the symptomatic levels and preserves flexion, axial rotation, lateral bending and mobility of the symptomatic vertebral section. Falena® is positioned in and preserves the interspinous ligament which contributes to the equilibrium and stabilization of the spine.
