History[edit | edit source]

Vertos Medical was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Aliso Viejo, California. The company was established with the goal of providing innovative, minimally invasive solutions for patients with spinal conditions. Over the years, Vertos Medical has focused on developing and refining the MILD® procedure, which has gained recognition in the medical community for its effectiveness and safety.

Mild Procedure[edit | edit source]

The MILD® procedure is a minimally invasive treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS), a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back. This narrowing can lead to pain, numbness, and reduced mobility. The MILD® procedure involves the removal of small pieces of bone and excess ligament tissue to decompress the spinal canal, thereby relieving pressure on the nerves.

The procedure is performed through a small incision and typically takes less than an hour. It is designed to be an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home the same day. The MILD® procedure has been shown to provide significant pain relief and improve function in patients with LSS.

Clinical Evidence[edit | edit source]

Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of the MILD® procedure. These studies have shown that patients undergoing the MILD® procedure experience significant improvements in pain relief, mobility, and overall quality of life. The procedure has also been associated with a low complication rate and a quick recovery time.

Products[edit | edit source]

Vertos Medical's primary product is the MILD® procedure kit, which includes specialized instruments and devices designed for the minimally invasive treatment of LSS. The company continues to innovate and develop new products to enhance the treatment of spinal conditions.

Recognition and Awards[edit | edit source]
