Interventional Spine Inc. announced that medical devices using its proprietary compression technology have now been implanted in more than 6,000 patients.

In making the announcement, Walter A. Cuevas, Interventional Spine's CEO, emphasized that the patented technology is unique to all of the products in the Company's portfolio.

Interventional Spine is a co-sponsor and exhibitor at Spineweek 2008, currently underway in Geneva, Switzerland. "Here at Spineweek 2008," Mr. Cuevas commented, "spine surgeons from around the world have come together to share their experiences with the newest techniques and products available Worldwide. This exchange of ideas will result in improving the outcomes of their patients seeking relief from chronic, often debilitating, back pain."

"In addition to being an exhibitor at this important conference, Interventional Spine, as a major sponsor, will conduct a panel discussion today on 'The Growing Continuum of Treatment Options,' during which five distinguished surgeons will present case histories and the biomechanical features of Interventional Spine's PercuDyn™ and PERPOS™ PLS Systems."

Mr. Cuevas concluded, "This is a truly exciting time for spine-patients in need of new approaches to old problems, and an exciting time for our Company in that we believe that the approaches we have pioneered at Interventional Spine hold so much promise for improved outcomes today. Our percutaneous product options are revolutionary, affording physicians the means to treat back pain without major surgery, thus reducing complications, the time required to return patients to normal activity, and accordingly, the costs of treatment."

Interventional Spine, Inc. is a privately held company based in Irvine, California that designs, develops, and markets patented implantable devices for the spine that can be deployed via percutaneous techniques, supported by the Company's unique product introduction systems, providing benefits to patients, surgeons, and hospitals.
