mild® Procedure
(Vertos Medical)
mild® is a minimally invasive treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). It is a proprietary technology that is a safe outpatient procedure.
mild® is designed to restore space in the spinal canal through an incision smaller than the size of a baby aspirin.
The mild® procedure is covered nationwide by Medicare (all plan types, including Medicare Advantage) the VA,U.S. Military & IHS. Commercial coverage varies. Talk to our doctors to obtain coverage specifics for your plan type.
The mild ® Procedure is designed to get you in and out and on your way. mild ® does not require general anesthesia, implants, stitches, steroids, or opioids. The procedure can be performed using local anesthetic and light sedation and leaves no implants behind, only a Band-Aid.
FAST RECOVERY TIME
Patients typically resume normal activity within 24 hours with no restrictions.
ADDRESS THE MAJOR ROOT CAUSE OF LSS (LUMBAR STENOSIS)
mild ® addresses a major root cause of LSS by removing small pieces of bone and thickened ligaments. This restores space in the spinal canal, that reduces compression of the nerves.
TREATMENT OPTIONS NOT ELIMINATED
Unlike some major surgeries, mild ® doesn’t eliminate future treatment options. Because, with mild ® , no major structural anatomy of the spine is permanently altered.
