The dimensions of the spinal canal and lateral neural foramen change significantly with posture. In a degenerated spinal segment, extension can cause anatomic structures to compress the spinal cord and/or nerves, leading to various symptoms including neurogenic intermittent claudication(NIC).
The X STOP
PKTM ("eXtension STOP") significantly prevents narrowing of the spinal canal and neural foramina in extension, decompressing the individual degenerative spinal level(s) that provokes symptoms.
X STOP
PKTM IPD® is designed to relieve the patient's symptoms while standing and walking, which allows the patient to resume their normal posture.

X STOP
PKTM IPD® procedure offers several benefits compared to traditional surgery:
- Safe and accurate / No risk to neural elements
- Can be performed under local anaesthesia
- Performed as same-day or short-stay routine
The X STOP
PKTM is available in six (6) sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm and 16mm. The size refers to the minimum diameter of the oval spacer.
The X STOP
PKTM IPD® system comes with reliable instruments designed to be ergonomic, easy to handle, minimal and with intuitive function.
