HEKTOR® is implanted through a small incision in patient's back,
often using just local anesthesia. The procedure takes
anywhere from 45-60 minutes, but the pain relief and improved
physical function may last for years.
HEKTOR® is a optima peek implant that is placed between two bones,
called spinous processes, in patient's back. HEKTOR® is minimally invasive.
When implanted, the HEKTOR® is not positioned close to nerves or
the spinal cord, but rather behind the spinal cord, between the spinous
processes.
