This advanced device, created after seven years of rigorous research, represents a milestone in medical innovation and a proud moment for local healthcare.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Instead, it offers a streamlined, safer approach, surpassing global standards in spinal treatment.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
