From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Vertos Medical is a medical device company that specializes in the development and commercialization of innovative, minimally invasive treatments for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The company is headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California.

History[edit | edit source]

Vertos Medical was founded in 2005 with the goal of providing less invasive solutions for patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis. The company's flagship product, the mild® procedure, was developed to offer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional open surgery.

mild® Procedure[edit | edit source]

The mild® procedure is a minimally invasive lumbar decompression technique designed to treat lumbar spinal stenosis. It involves the removal of small pieces of bone and excess ligament tissue to relieve pressure on the spinal nerves. The procedure is performed through a small incision and typically takes less than an hour. Patients often experience significant pain relief and improved mobility with a shorter recovery time compared to traditional surgery.

Technology[edit | edit source]

Vertos Medical's technology focuses on precision and safety. The mild® procedure utilizes specialized instruments and imaging techniques to ensure accurate removal of tissue while minimizing damage to surrounding structures. This approach reduces the risk of complications and promotes faster recovery.

Clinical Evidence[edit | edit source]

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the mild® procedure. Research has shown that patients undergoing the mild® procedure experience significant improvements in pain, function, and quality of life. The procedure is also associated with a low complication rate and a high level of patient satisfaction.

Regulatory Approvals[edit | edit source]

The mild® procedure has received regulatory approvals from various health authorities, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). These approvals are based on extensive clinical data supporting the safety and effectiveness of the procedure.

Market Presence[edit | edit source]

Vertos Medical has established a strong market presence in the field of minimally invasive spine treatments. The company collaborates with healthcare providers and institutions to promote the adoption of the mild® procedure. Vertos Medical also offers training and support to ensure that physicians are proficient in performing the procedure.
