The meeting was originally scheduled for Dec. 12 and has been re-scheduled by the FDA because they were unable to complete their internal review of the PMA data in time.

 

The Superion Interspinous Spacer System is a minimally invasive spinal implant designed to treat moderate lumbar spinal stenosis. The device received the CE Mark in 2007 and has been implanted in more than 2,000 patients worldwide.
