1. Available devices intended to protect the spinal cord apply stress and pressure to patients’ spinal cords, which can cause irreversible damage.
2. This new device moves along the axes of X, Y and Z, allowing it to mold to any unique body position.
3. The PSC rests on the patient’s spinal column, taking on the injured person’s position, so it cannot be moved.
4. The device is still in its early stages of development and the development team needs $85,000 more to continue funding the project.
