Abstract
The present invention involves a device and method for restoring intervertebral height and promoting bone fusion to maintain the proper height. The present invention is an interspinous device comprised of two clamps and an elongated element for use in spinal surgery to separate adjacent vertebrae. Once deposited in the intervertebral space, the device effects spinal fusion over time as the natural healing process fuses the bone through and around the device.
