SpineOvations is a San Diego-based medtech company focused on the development of new and innovative products for the orthopedic and neurosurgery markets. We are focused on the development of biocompatible injectables for the stabilization of spinal disc integrity and for other orthopedic applications including non-surgical connective tissue repair. Our technology platform consists of a novel, non-surgical application for identifying and treating spinal disc tears or fissures to seal and stabilize the structural integrity of the spinal disc. This new treatment concept integrates the use of discography, the current diagnostic modality for visualization and diagnosis of a pain generating spinal disc defect, with the administration of DiscSeal™, an injectable agent for soft tissue engineering, designed to fill and seal the disc defect and provide internal disc stabilization and pain relief for patients with chronic back pain. Our initial target patient population will be patients with internal disc derangement (IDD). This innovative approach offers the potential to provide a cost-effective treatment option for patients with chronic back pain that will delay or possibly prevent the need for more invasive treatments such as surgery for spinal fusion or disc replacement.

Our Company was founded in September 2004 to develop and commercialize products based on intellectual property developed by Neville Alleyne, M.D. and Stuart A. Young, M.D., who are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders. U.S. and international patents are pending for this technology. DiscSeal, our lead product candidate, is a biocompatible injectable that consists of synthetic microspheres suspended in a collagen solution.
