BOSTON, April 3, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- KICVentures announced today the issuance of a patent for SpineFrontier's laminoplasty device LESplasty. The patent was issued on March 26th, 2019 and provides an innovative solution to posterior cervical decompression.
The LESplasty system allows for straightforward implantation and minimization of tissue disruption when used with SpineFrontier's patented LESplasty inserter technology.
"The issuance of our LESplasty patent demonstrates SpineFrontier's commitment to providing superior patient care while strengthening our product portfolio with leading industry technologies," said SpineFrontier Director of Innovation, Vito Lore.
"Less Exposure Surgery (LES®) is based on a new philosophy of performing surgery," says Professor Kingsley R. Chin, M.D, Founder of LES.
