Ed Akeyson, MD, PhD, is now using Paradigm Spine's Coflex, according to myrecordjournal.
Here are four observations:
1. Dr. Akeyson is a neurosurgeon at Meriden, Conn.-based Midstate Medical Center.
2. About 1,000 spine surgeons use Coflex.
3. The device is a titanium implant designed to stabilize the spine after decompression surgery.
4. It is intended to require a shorter operating time and provide for a faster recovery.
