DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System
The DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System implant is a dynamic device that can be used to treat primary low back pain (greater than leg pain) which may result from Degenerative Disc Disease. It is placed in your spine, and helps share the load borne by the disc. See images below.
NOTE: DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System is available in the United States as an FDA PMA-approved Breakthrough Device.

What is Degenerative Disc Disease?
Disc degeneration, most often age related, is the gradual breakdown, or degeneration, of an intervertebral disc. Healthy intervertebral discs act as padding between the spine’s vertebrae (bones that make up the spinal column) and cushion the stress when the spine moves or bears weight. The healthy intervertebral disc is made up of two layers, the soft, jellylike core (nucleus pulposus) and the firm, tough outer layer (annulus fibrosus).
The degenerative breakdown of the intervertebral disc results in loss of fluid in the disc, making it harder for it to absorb shocks, reduced height of the disc, and loss of mechanical integrity between the bones in the spine.
You can see in this image a spine segment suffering from a degenerated disc.
DIAM™ helps maintain
vertebral height
DIAM™ is inserted between the vertebrae, and helps share the load borne by the disc. It also opens the space between vertebrae so nerves have more of their naturally intended room.
How DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System works
The DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System implant is a dynamic device that can be used to treat primary low back pain (greater than leg pain) which may result from Degenerative Disc Disease.
The core of the DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System device is made of silicone. The outermesh and tether are made of polyethylene (polyester.) The crimp is titanium.
Let’s stop just talking about back pain. Let’s do something about it.
Intended Purpose
US
The DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System is indicated for skeletally mature patients that have moderate to severe primary low back pain (greater than leg pain) secondary to lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD), at a single level from L2-L5 with current episode refractory to at least six months non-operative care. The DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System is implanted via a minimally invasive posterior approach.
EUROPEAN UNION
The DIAM™ Spinal Stabilization System is an interventional solution indicated for skeletally mature patients that have moderate low back pain (with or without radicular pain) with current episode lasting less than one year in duration secondary to lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD).
Easily integrated into outpatient settings
Minimally invasive insertion makes DIAM™ easy to integrate into the ASC and/or pain management facility.
Streamlined instrument set included for distraction, sizing, template and insertion.
Available in multiple sizes to address most anatomy.
