Unlike spinal fusion, LimiFlex™ Dynamic Sagittal Tether™ (DST) is designed to maintain mobility, flexibility, and range of motion in the spine by augmenting the posterior tension band. LimiFlex provides a robust, motion-preserving, minimally invasive, outpatient solution for degenerative spondylolisthesis patients. Learn how LimiFlex works: https://lnkd.in/gjRse6KW  CAUTION—INVESTIGATIONAL DEVICE. LIMITED BY UNITED STATES LAW TO INVESTIGATIONAL USE.

NEUROMODULATION: SPINAL CORD INJURY SYMPOSIUM - REIMBURSEMENT PRESENTER Looking forward to participating on a panel to present the critical reimbursement considerations of clinical studies. I’ll discuss how clinical studies impact the reimbursement pathway, stakeholders and timelines of coding, coverage and payment. Having worked on various spinal cord injury reimbursement initiatives it will be exciting to discuss reimbursement and the impact on patient access to cutting edge neuromodulation advances. #universityofminnesota #instituteforengineeringinmedicine https://lnkd.in/gFJrMFrA

Do you want to take a chance that your patient may lose MR eligibility due to impedance conditions? A recent study showed that is what happened with 43% of non-Medtronic SureScan™ SCS patients† at five years post-implant.(1) With Medtronic SureScan™ systems, 100% of SCS patients have MR access regardless of impedance.‡ Stop by our booth or join us for our lunch symposium where industry leaders, Drs. Chris Beuer, Krishnan Chakravarthy, Samir Sheth, Ricardo Vallejo, and Thomas White, will review the broad comprehensive pain product portfolio, unmatched MRI access§, and discuss clinical outcomes. #MDTPainInterventions #SCS #NANS2024 #NANS24 #MRI #PatientsFirst †Abbott, Boston Scientific, and Nevro ‡ Assuming all other conditions are met § Under specific conditions.

Did you know there is no way to tell breast density based on appearance, clinical examination, or size of breasts? Dense breasts have a higher proportion of fibroglandular tissue vs. fatty tissue - which can only be determined through mammogram screening. So, what should physicians say to a patient if they receive a mammogram report showing that the patient has dense breasts? Physicians can use the checklist from the following article published by the Canadian Family Physician (Wilkinson, 2023) to help guide dense breast counselling efforts and facilitate shared decision-making: https://bit.ly/3R9A5H7

💉Penumbra, Inc. launches latest CAVT technology to rapidly remove blood clots Lightning Flash 2.0 is the next-generation computer-assisted vacuum thrombectomy (CAVT) system to remove venous thrombus and treat pulmonary emboli (PE). The next-gen CAVT system features advanced Lightning Flash algorithms designed for increased speed and sensitivity to thrombus and blood flow. Together with Penumbra, Inc.’s novel catheter technology, the system will help physicians better navigate through complex anatomy and deliver superior clot removal with minimal blood loss. Penumbra, Inc. FSIR chief medical officer James F. Benenati, M.D., FSIR said: “Based on what we’ve seen in the initial launch, Lightning Flash 2.0 has significantly improved procedure time by shortening the aspiration time. It has also shown reductions in blood removed during aspiration. “These advantages can improve patient safety, provide better outcomes for the patients and streamline efficiency for physicians treating the patients. “As adoption of thrombectomy becomes more widespread, Lightning Flash 2.0 will provide physicians with the confidence that CAVT is a valuable frontline option.” Read more online: https://lnkd.in/eAKaenfB 📰 Follow Medical Device Developments to receive the latest medical device news daily and to subscribe to our weekly newsletter #MedicalDeviceDevelopments #penumbra #bloodclots

💉 Angiotensin II potential option in catecholamine-refractory vasodilatory hypotension &/or shock in #ICU! Current evidence supports the view that is safe & physiologically effective vasopressor but more evidence needed to better understand timing/duration, patient selection, its use in combination with other agents to deliver effective, safe, multifaceted, and balanced vasopressor therapy.

Thoroughly designed for lifetime management.

Ten international glaucoma experts have come together to provide guidelines on the use of MicroPulse® Transscleral Laser Therapy (TLT) with the revised MicroPulse P3® Probe. The use of MicroPulse TLT offers clinicians a unique non-incisional option to manage their glaucoma patients, with intraocular pressure (IOP) reductions of approximately 27.8% to 57.2%. Our experts have found this approach to be safe and durable, and clinical evidence supports their findings. If you're interested in learning more about this innovative technology and treatment approach, check out the write paper to gain a deeper understanding of how it can benefit your glaucoma patients. #glaucoma #ophthalmology #healthcare #innovation #IRIDEX #MicroPulse
