The coflex(TM) device is a U-shaped titanium alloy, available in 5 sizes from 8mm to 16mm. It is indicated for use in patients with radiographically confirmed moderate to severe stenosis with neural element compromise resulting in claudication and/or radicular symptoms isolated to 1 or 2 levels, in the region of L1 to L5.
The company's founding philosophy is "Surgeon Centric, Indication Specific, Data Driven", and focuses on providing the best clinical outcomes for patients suffering from chronic back pain. The company is concentrating on building a multi-product non-fusion portfolio. One product is the coflex(TM) device, a posterior non-fusion interspinous dynamically-functional implant, which has a long clinical history of over a decade of use and has been implanted in more than 15,000 patients suffering from low back pain and lumbar spinal stenosis.

Only a minimum volume of implant material (pure titanium sheet, thickness 0,5 mm) is required even in large cranioplasties. In order to avoid "sinking flap" dislocation and to achieve high mechanical strength, the CranioTOP-cranioplasty is placed with its surface edges overlapping the margins of the skull defect (not into it), secured with minimally few screws (CranioDRIVE) and the integrated lugs for positioning. Superpositioning the cranioplasty upon the defect avoids needing major and risky operative procedures, e.g. dissection of the bone edges and the dura as well as duraplasty can be avoided. The cortex remains spared from manipulation
For example, osteolytic parts of the autologous bone can remain in place if additional dissection is too risky or time-consuming.
The minimal implant volume guaranties a local insensivity against patient exposure to heat and cold, which otherwise commonly results in headaches following more voluminous carbide and titanium cranioplasties manufactured by block-milling, casting or LASER procedures (LASER melting).
An accompanying 1:1 acrylic scale model of the individual cranium and its defect is delivered along with each CranioTop implant - allowing a peri-operative "in-vitro" orientation of the implant, therby ensuring the correct "in-vivo" placement.
Full loading capacity of CranioTop cranioplasties is already present immediately following implantation.
"MR-safe" and "MR-compatible":
Full compatibility with CT and MR imaging techniques, particularly in all clinically relevant MRI sequences.
