In a major milestone for Saudi Arabia’s medical sector, a team of experts has created a revolutionary spinal implant that’s set to transform surgeries for neck spine conditions!

The team, comprising Spinal Surgery Consultants Dr. Amro Faiz Al-Habib and Dr. Sami Ibrahim Al-Eissa, along with Pediatric Surgery Consultant Dr. Ayman Hassan Al-Jazaeri, successfully conducted the first surgery using the implant on a 40-year-old patient suffering from spinal stenosis.

The patient, who endured hand numbness, balance issues, and severe neck pain, experienced a transformative recovery. Post-surgery, his pain disappeared, and he regained his ability to walk naturally.

The new implant eliminates the need for complex anterior and posterior surgeries, which often come with higher risks and longer recovery periods

Securing two US patents and obtaining clinical use approval from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, the implant is set to make waves internationally. Collaborations with Dutch and German medical companies are underway to market the device worldwide, putting Saudi innovation on the global stage.

This medical breakthrough not only advances spinal care but also solidifies Saudi Arabia’s position as a leader in medical innovation!
