About Us
ArthroCare® is a highly innovative, multi-business medical device company that develops, manufactures and markets products based on our internationally patented Coblation® technology. This platform technology precisely dissolves target tissue and minimizes damage to surrounding, healthy tissue.

We are dedicated to making spinal procedures easier and less traumatic. Since we received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance in 1999 for our first system, ArthroCare has continued to advance and develop a full line of procedures — including minimally invasive treatments for patients with spine-related conditions, including herniated discs and soft tissue. We also offer technologies for bone access and biopsy, and percutaneous injection of bone cement.

ArthroCare Spine offers:
• Coblation-based SpineWand™ products for spinal disc decompression, and soft tissue removal.
• Parallax® product line for the diagnosis and treatment of vertebral compression fractures

The Latest Spine News…
ArthroCare is working with leading centers around the world to complete “SPINE,” Study of Percutaneous Intradiscal Nucleoplasty Efficacy, a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical study, which commenced in January. The Spine study will compare the effectiveness of percutaneous plasma disc decompression(PPD) to conservative care in the treatment of patients with symptomatic contained herniated discs.
