The Aquamantys system helps to minimize blood loss and reduce transfusion rates during spine surgery. The Misonix Ultrasonic device aims to preserves soft tissue such as the spinal membrane, reducing the possibility of complications such as spinal fluid leakage. The device emulsifies bone during laminectomy for discectomy or stenosis.

 

“These tools have been created to make spine surgery safer and more efficient,” said Dr. Sonstein. “They afford the safest conditions required for spinal surgery. I am pleased to offer these technologies to my patients.”
