Spinal

ATEK Medical manufactures spinal implants used to fuse and provide dynamic stabilization to parts of the lumbar spinal area.

The lumbar spine, or lower back, is the third major region of the spine. Most people have five bones or vertebrae in the lumbar spine, although it is not unusual to have six. Each vertebra is stacked on top of the other and between each vertebra is a gel-like cushion called a disc (intervertebral disc). These discs help to absorb pressure, distribute stress, and keep the vertebrae from grinding against each other. When the intervertrebal discs wear out or collapse, a fusion and/or dynamic stabilization is required to stabilize the area and to prevent any further damage.

All spinal implant products manufactured at ATEK Medical are classified as FDA Class II devices and require the utmost process controls to ensure consistent quality.
