Le U – The System for Dynamic Stabilization

The titanium implant is implanted after decompressing surgery of lumbar canal stenosis and also when the facet joints are arthrotic. The implant stabilizes the operated segment and preserves its flexibility. Patients quickly regain both their flexibility as well their stability.

The contentment of the patients after the operations and the simplicity of the surgical procedure are the main reasons for the success of Le U.

What does LeU achieve?

It relieves and mechanically protects the joints of the vertebrae.

It protects the disc by absorbing some of the strain exerted upon them

It maintains flexibility in extension (cushion effect) but also in rotation.

Allows for a bi-segmental implantation.

Five different anatomical              sizes

It may open up  neuroforaminae

What Indications mandate the Implantation of Le U ?

Le U presents an alternative to the fusion of the spine. It is implanted after decompressing surgery of lumbar canal stenosis and also when the facet joints are athrotic. These two conditions occur either together or in isolation. After decompressing operations of the lumbar spine and resections of athritic joints of the vertebrae, we often witness the problem of an ensuing instability of the spinal segment. The implant, however, stabilizes the operated segment and preserves its flexibility.

Another indication is the protection of the neigbouring segment after a rigid spinal fusion.

When we operate on herniated discs, especially recidivic cases, the implant serves yet another function: it can also prevent the proliferation of neuroforaminal stenoses. It supports the joints of the vertebrae through intervertebral stabilization.

It can also be useful in cases of painfull intervertebral joints. Because of its extension and interspinal distraction of the facet joints, it prevents further deterioration.
