Interventional Spine's Compression Technology Has Now Been Used to Treat More Than 6,000 Patients

     Company Co-Sponsors and Exhibits at Spineweek 2008 in Geneva
IRVINE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Interventional Spine Inc. announced today that medical devices
using its proprietary compression technology have now been implanted
in more than 6,000 patients.

   In making the announcement, Walter A. Cuevas, Interventional
Spine's CEO, emphasized that the patented technology is unique to all
of the products in the Company's portfolio.

   Interventional Spine is a co-sponsor and exhibitor at Spineweek
2008, currently underway in Geneva, Switzerland. "Here at Spineweek
2008," Mr. Cuevas commented, "spine surgeons from around the world
have come together to share their experiences with the newest
techniques and products available Worldwide. This exchange of ideas
will result in improving the outcomes of their patients seeking relief
from chronic, often debilitating, back pain."

   "In addition to being an exhibitor at this important conference,
Interventional Spine, as a major sponsor, will conduct a panel
discussion today on 'The Growing Continuum of Treatment Options,'
during which five distinguished surgeons will present case histories
and the biomechanical features of Interventional Spine's PercuDyn(TM)
and PERPOS(TM) PLS Systems."

   Mr. Cuevas concluded, "This is a truly exciting time for
spine-patients in need of new approaches to old problems, and an
exciting time for our Company in that we believe that the approaches
we have pioneered at Interventional Spine hold so much promise for
improved outcomes today. Our percutaneous product options are
revolutionary, affording physicians the means to treat back pain
without major surgery, thus reducing complications, the time required
to return patients to normal activity, and accordingly, the costs of
treatment."

   Interventional Spine, Inc. is a privately held company based in
Irvine, California that designs, develops, and markets patented
implantable devices for the spine that can be deployed via
percutaneous techniques, supported by the Company's unique product
introduction systems, providing benefits to patients, surgeons, and
