The Coflex® device is the FIRST AND ONLY posterior lumbar motion preservation solution with Level I evidence (the highest possible level of clinical data) from two prospective randomized studies against two treatment options.¹ There are many peer-reviewed publications on the Coflex® device, making it one of the most studied lumbar spinal devices on the market. The Coflex® device has been implanted in more than 175,000 patients in over 60 countries.
This makes the Coflex® device the only posterior lumbar motion preservation solution with proven long-term outcomes for durable pain relief and stability.
