Triojection™ From SpinaFX Medical
Minimally-Invasive Image-Guided Ozone Therapy1 .
The Triojection® System consists of a computer-controlled console and an ozone generation chamber inside a disposable single-use syringe and sterility case
Ozone generator and measurement console
- Indicated for patients with “Contained Herniated Discs” causing back pain which has not responded to conservative therapy1,2.
- Combines a self-contained, Ozone (O2+2.4% O3) generator and spectroscopic measurement.
- Patented, disposable exterior case and syringe adheres to key aseptic principles guaranteeing sterile ozone delivery.
- Built with high quality O3 and UV-compatible disposable syringe polymers including filters & stopcocks.
- Ensures consistent treatment with a sterile, metered, measured, accurate, precise and repeatable O2/O3 concentration at the point of care.
Transforming the future of back pain treatment
SpinaFX is a medical treatment solution company providing rapid and sustained relief to patients with back pain due to contained lumbar herniated discs, using innovative, minimally invasive image-guided therapy.
Back Pain is the #1 cause of disability in the world 1 and the most expensive health condition treated2 .

A New Treatment Option for Radiculopathy
Our flagship treatment solution aims to relieve back and leg pain caused by a contained herniated disc through the intravertebral injection of a mixture of oxygen and ozone gas.1 This technology is not currently available for promotion or sale.
Promising research shows there is a potential for oxygen-ozone injections to help treat radiculopathy caused by a contained herniated lumbar disc. In fact, a study of 283 patients showed intradiscal ozone injections are associated with a statistically significant volume reduction of the herniated lumbar disc2. An average disc volume reduction was seen in 96.1% of treated disks six months after treatment2* Animal studies and mathematical modeling have shown a 6% nucleus pulposus volume reduction can lead to a 9.84% reduction in pressure, relieving nerve root compression and herniated disc-related pain.3
* Average disc volume reduction (mean 7.7+/-5.45%; range, 0.29%-22.31%). P < 0.0001.

How Ozone (O3) works
Nucleus Pulposus Breakdown
Ozone injected into the disc nucleus dehydrates and breaks down proteins* in the nucleus leading to reduction of the bulging disc herniation.
* Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)-substituted proteoglycans

Reduces Inflammation
Ozone reduces the release of inflammatory proteins (cytokines) that lead to inflammation.
Reduces Infection
Ozone has proven antimicrobial properties. Reduced spine infection reduces potential degenerative (modic) changes in the disc, vertebral bones and reduces pain.
