A true dynamic stabilization implant is one that has an optimum stiffness profile, permits interpedicular travel, and maintains a near normal center of rotation. The Stabilimax System meets these requirements utilizing a patented Dual-Spring mechanism that is specially tuned to maximize support where it is most needed. Stabilimax has been shown in laboratory testing to share load and work in conjunction with the spine; and, by doing so, is intended to preserve motion and function, and allow tissue-healing at the affected segment.
