Transforming the future of back pain treatment

A simple, innovative, earlier treatment option for the world’s #1 source of disability - Back Pain!

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

Syringe with exterior case, filter and dual stopcocks.
  • 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.

Eligible patients include 71% of those with contained herniated discs and other borderline non-surgical patients for whom there are no effective treatment options.

Filling a Therapeutic Gap for Contained Herniated Disc-Related Back and Leg Pain

Back Pain is the #1 cause of disability in the world1 and the most expensive health condition treated2.

Lumbar disc herniation affects between 5 and 20 adults per 1,000 annually.3 For many of these patients, there is a gap in treatment options for contained lumbar disc herniation that would fall between conservative care and surgery. Some find conservative treatment options address their symptoms but fail to treat the root cause of pain. For others, surgery could be an undesired option.

SpinaFX Medical

Pioneering minimally invasive, image-guided treatments

At SpinaFX Medical, we are committed to filling the therapeutic gap in treating radiculopathy by bringing innovative, minimally invasive, image-guided treatments to market. Using our patented technology backed by published clinical data, we aim to address and eliminate low back and leg pain for the benefit of patients, physicians, facilities, and payers.

A New Treatment Option for Radiculopathy

Clinically backed, patented technology from SpinaFX Medical
Nucleus Pulposus Volume Reduction

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

Ozone (O3) – a dehydrating, oxidizing, naturally occurring species of oxygen (O2) gas that can be injected into the gelatinous disc nucleus.
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
reduces inflimation
Ozone reduces the release of inflammatory proteins (cytokines) that lead to inflammation.

Reduces Infection
reduces-infection
Ozone has proven antimicrobial properties. Reduced spine infection reduces potential degenerative (modic) changes in the disc, vertebral bones and reduces pain.
