The Intralink-Spine custom medical device quickly adds polymer "nano-tethers" in the tissue matrix to provide a mechanically stable, stronger, and tear-resistant tissue. Thus, it could become a replacement for spinal fusions, disc replacements, and nerve ablation surgeries, and it could be an effective adjunct to common surgical procedures such as discectomies.
Introducing Our Core Technology
A key to our injectable treatment's effectiveness is the device's ability to add a large number of load-supporting polymers to a damaged collagen matrix like that in a degraded spinal disc.
Disc degeneration is happening to all of us; for most of us it can cause pain!
-
Annulus tissue becomes delaminated, fissured, or micro-damaged
-
Spinal joint becomes unstable
-
Disc bulges against nerves
Our medical device reduces pain by:
-
Strengthening annulus against tearing and delamination
-
Increasing joint stability
-
Reducing disc bulge
Our unique solution is effectively protected
There are more than forty (40) issued patents to date with additional under review. Our innovation is also supported by thirty-two (32) peer-reviewed papers.
Implantation procedure
This nano-tethering polymeric device, GENTIS (GEnipin Nano-Tether Injectable Stabilization), is implanted via a standard image-guided injection. This micro-invasive procedure can be performed on an outpatient basis and should be complete with just one injection treatment.
