It's essentially a hair clip that's shaped like a spine, made with rigid phone case material and stainless steel.
The model was designed with references to open source medical archives (Life Sciences Japan, BodyParts3D) that I found when studying kinesiology. The body material is thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a tough material that is often used in phone cases.
I designed the unique dual-axis mechanism with quad springs, which allows the side wings to move freely and exert even pressure without interfering the spinous processes in the back. This allows the hairclip to be used like any standard hair clip using the finger groove on the 4th vertebrae. Nearly everything is made in my studio, from the printing of the TPU to the hand-wound springs.
