Default anyone know about Scorpion Surgical Technologies

Quote:
Scorpion Surgical Technologies, an Israeli orthopedic surgical-technology company, has developed a spinal anchoring device implant to replace fusion and stabilization procedures on the spine. The implant introduces a new, less invasive alternative to current orthopedic methods and prevents the movement of vertebrae that results from ruptured discs, and the chronic pain caused by pseudarthritis and osteoporosis.

how is this better than fusion? how can they claim this is less invasive than fusion when it is a fusion?
