Kyphosis is characterised by a curve in the spine which is 45 degrees more than a normal curvature, causing the top of the back to appear more rounded than normal.

"Jazz Claw is a new hybrid solution that provides ease of use, versatility and the power of sublaminar band reduction in a high-demand location."

More prevalent in adults, it can cause back pain, stiffness, tenderness of the spine and cause tiredness.

"The result of a collaboration with prominent surgical teams, Jazz Claw is a new hybrid solution that provides ease of use, versatility and the power of sublaminar band reduction in a high-demand location."
