History of the IDET procedure

The SPINECATH◊ Intradiscal Catheter is intended for the coagulation and decompression of disc material to treat symptomatic patients with annular disruption of contained herniated discs.

Since 1998, more than 75,000 IDET◊ procedures have been performed in the United States alone.
More than 50 studies supporting the efficacy and safety of the IDET◊ procedure have been published in a variety of peer-reviewed journals.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons lists the IDET◊ procedure as a possible non-passive treatment option for lower back pain.

For more specific details about reimbursement and the IDET◊ procedure see Coding and Payment.
