A novel sealant device that aids in stem cell localization in the treatment of lower back pain
TechnologyOne of the major causes of lower back pain is intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration also known as lumbar degenerative disc disease which often leads to disk herniation. IVD results from the dehydration of the central nucleus pulposus (NP) which ultimately alters the biomechanics of the disc and eventually causes tears to form in the peripheral...
