Dynamic sagittal tether implant (motion-preserving posterior tension band)
An implantable device intended to augment the posterior tension band after lumbar decompression to provide elastic resistance to flexion, maintain lordosis, encourage facet engagement, and preserve segmental motion as an alternative to rigid fusion for selected patients.
