For physicians

Decades in the making, Barricaid is the only FDA-approved device designed to close large defects in the annulus. Barricaid allows you to preserve more of your patient’s disc while reducing their risk of reherniation and reoperation. A Level I RCT (randomized controlled trial) of 554 patients showed an approximate 50% reduction in reherniation and reoperative recurrence starting at the 90-day mark and running through 5 years post-surgery.

Beating the odds of reherniation and reoperation

The Barricaid implant is designed to provide you with a superior intraoperative choice for patients with large annular defects. The procedure is straightforward—measure the annular defect, test Barricaid alignment, then anchor and confirm Barricaid positioning under fluoroscopy. The benefit to your patients is significant and enduring. With Barricaid, you significantly improve the odds of a more durable outcome for discectomy surgery.
