The Stryker Dekompressor is a single-use probe intended for percutaneous discectomies in the lumbar,
thoracic and cervical regions of the spine.
Under fluoroscopic imaging, the Dekompressor utilizes an Archimedes pump principle to remove disc material from bulging or contained herniated discs, reducing pressure in the disc and surrounding area and providing pain relief.
