Company Profile
Established in 2005 and based in Aliso Viejo, California, Vertos Medical is a growing, privately-held medical device company that develops and markets innovative, minimally invasive devices for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).
The mild opportunity: a market with untapped potential.
Significant numbers of Americans suffer from the chronic pain and immobility caused by LSS, a degenerative age-related narrowing of the lower spinal canal that causes pressures on the nerves.
While there are many causes for LSS, the most common is a degenerative etiology. As the spinal canal progressively narrows due to thickening and/or bulging of soft tissue and venous congestion, patients develop pain that severely limits daily activities such as walking and, in severe cases, even standing.
LSS is now the most commonly diagnosed spinal disease in the U.S. geriatric population. Each year, in the U.S. alone, approximately 1.5 million individuals are diagnosed with the condition. And the number of LSS patients is predicted to increase by 18 million over the next ten years, as the population over age 50 continues to grow exponentially.
Vertos Medical's mild (Minimally Invasive Lumbar Decompression) procedure fills an important void in LSS treatment. This new FDA-cleared procedure represents a viable option for failed ESI patients as well as those concerned about the invasiveness of major open surgery.
A new frontier in the treatment of LSS
The mild procedure is easy for physicians to learn. Training sessions are primarily conducted at Vertos Medical's Headquarters/Training Center in Aliso Viejo, California and can be completed in 2-3 hours. Training includes both hands-on and didactic laboratory sessions with fluoroscopy.
