Medovex is a corporation that was formed to acquire and develop a diversified portfolio of medical technology products and services. The company’s first product, the DenerveX System, is intended to provide long-lasting relief from facet joint syndrome pain.
The system “…is a rotational, monopolar, radiofrequency [RF] denervation device, powered by a dedicated DenerveX Pro-40 generator. It is designed to ablate the nerve and capsular tissue on the posterior surface of the facet joint. Denervation is achieved through Rotacapsulation, a combination of high heat and rotational tissue shaving.” The device is currently in Pre-Submission with the FDA.
William “Bill” Horne, Medovex CEO and chairman, said, “In just recent weeks, we have announced the completion of the transaction of [Regenerative Medical Solutions], appointed two new high-quality board members, and secured nearly $5 million in financing allowing us to execute our business plan going forward.”
“Soon, you should expect to see additional communications that will further bolster and speak to the quality of our team, what our business will look like going forward, and most importantly, how we intend to build long term sustainable shareholder value. It’s an exciting time here at Medovex and we are grateful for both the continued support of our existing shareholders as well as those who have just recently joined us.”

Discussion
This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
