Bolster Device

Patent Status: 
Non-provisional

Force-measuring radiology table attachment for spine flexibility testing

  • Used for preoperative surgical planning (has been used successfully)

  • Modular tabletop platform with three independently adjustable load-cell platforms that quantifies spinal curve flexibility during radiologic studies

  • Standardizes the measurement of Cobb angle change as a function of applied force (Cobb°/Newton)

  • Replaces subjective side-bending radiographs with reproducible, force-normalized flexibility data

  • Enables simulation of intraoperative corrections preoperatively, directly informing fusion level selection and growth modulation planning
