Working again. Full-time and pain-free.
Our average patient is pain-free, takes no or only little medication and enjoys unlimited walking-time post-operatively. Most patients are able to work full-time again in their previous professions.
What patients and surgeons say
“After three conventional surgeries I am pain free for the first time.”
Patient comment
„SpineShape provides to many clinical pictures an implant with the matching stiffness.”
Spine surgeon’s statement
Clinical results since 2015
The following data originates from a sample of 42 consecutive patients, for which systematic pre-operative and post-operative controls after 36 months have been conducted. The patients were operated between June 2016 and November 2016 by one of our leading surgeons and subsequently supervised. Patient satisfaction was measured with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for the assessment of the patients’ pain perception.
