TRAK™ enables a minimally invasive, outpatient procedure designed to provide precise, controlled access to the lumbar facet joint and medial branch nerve.
As we age, the spine naturally changes. Discs wear down, joints become arthritic, and bone spurs develop. These common age-related changes, including osteoarthritis, hypertrophy, and osteophyte formation, can create complex anatomy that alters the course of or obstructs access to the medial branch nerve, making precise targeting more challenging.1
Why accessing the affected nerve can become difficult
Osteoarthritis, hypertrophy and osteophytes can alter where the medial branch nerve runs.1
Needle placement confirms bone location, not direct nerve access.
Small targeting differences can affect lesion placement.
Point treatment can leave portions of the target untreated.
Using TRAK™ (Targeted Resection and Access Kit), your physician performs a partial lumbar facetectomy to address obstructing anatomy and access the medial branch nerve.
This minimally invasive, six-step outpatient procedure enables a medial branch nerve avulsion across a broader area3, resulting in a more complete approach to care.
In a retrospective, multicenter study of 56 TRAK™ patients, investigators reported no procedure-related serious adverse events within 90 days and a 50% mean improvement in NRS pain scores at 3 months.2
Notably, 25% of patients achieved 70% or greater pain relief at 3 months.2
