Abstract
A method of providing an interspinous spacer between adjacent spinous processes includes: (a) providing a spacer that is configurable to a collapsed configuration and to an expanded configuration, where the collapsed configuration presents an implantation profile that is at least 10% smaller than the corresponding profile when the spacer is in its expanded configuration; (b) causing the spacer to assume its collapsed configuration; (c) introducing the spacer into a medical patient while the spacer is in its collapsed configuration; and (d) allowing the spacer to assume its expanded configuration while positioned between adjacent spinous processes in a medical patient.
