Smart technology. Quantifiable results.
The Stryker Dekompressor® is a minimally invasive disc removal system for contained disc herniations. It was designed with leading practitioners to measurably and selectively extract disc material during percutaneous discectomies without annular or nuclear disruption.[1][2][3][4]
Using a patent-pending Archimede’s pump principle, Stryker’s Dekompressor provides a highly efficient method for removing intervertebral disc nucleus through the smallest available channel under fluoroscopic control.
Material removed can also be used for disc biopsies.
Features:
- Removes quantifiable disc material
- No capital equipment required Unique to Stryker*
- No thermal damage to the nerve root
- Provides sample for biopsy Unique to Stryker*
- Four cannula sizes that regulate the amount of material aspirated
- Multiple lengths, gauges, and shapes allow procedure customization
- May be used in the lumbar, thoracic, and cervical regions of the spine

Indications For Use
The DEKOMPRESSOR Percutaneous Discectomy Probe is intended for use in aspiration of disc material during percutaneous discectomies in the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions of the spine.
Contraindications
- Traumatic spinal fracture, infection, tumor, pregnancy, and severe coexisting medical disease are contraindications.
- The probe is not appropriate for treating patients with pain originating from structures other than herniated discs. Patients with free fragments, severe bony stenosis, or severely degenerative discs should be excluded.
- Patients with severe and rapidly progressing neurological deficits should be excluded.
- The procedure should be performed under local anesthesia or conscious sedation to allow patient monitoring for signs of segmental spinal nerve irritation. General anesthesia is contraindicated.
