Coflex™ (formerly Intraspinous U) device represents an advanced in posterior spinal decompression. It provides segmental spinal dynamic stabilization without the use of pedicle screws, thus preserving pedicle tissue and avoiding the risk of pedicle screw implantation. Because of its shape, it has more contact surface, giving it a distinct advantage over other interpsinous/interlamninar decompression devices.

Coflex ™ is used in the treatment of moderate to severe spinal canal stenosis with spinal instability, and currently is undergoing an FDA-approved clinical trial in the United States. Coflex™ has received the EU's CE mark, which permits its implantation in the EU. Prof. Dr. Bertagnoli is well-experienced with implantation the Coflex ™.
