NuVasive, Inc. recently received FDA approval to use the company's redesigned MAGEC system with its RELINE Small Stature system. As per the company press release, RELINE Small Stature is a comprehensive pediatric deformity fixation system which helps achieve optimal construct strength with a reduced implant profile. It is the only small stature system that is compatible with the new 5.0 millimeter MAGEC rod.
The MAGEC system offers the latest magnetic technology within adjustable growing rods to treat early-onset scoliosis in a less invasive manner. The latest upgrades to the MAGEC system will help surgeons carry out surgical procedures with ease and make them more reproducible.
Notably, in order to strengthen its footprint in the $2.5-billion deformity market,NuVasive announced a new initiative to support adult and pediatric deformity research, education, and awareness initiatives throughout 2017. As part of this initiative, the company recently launched the ‘Embracing the Journey Together’ program.
This program involves pediatric spinal deformity research, education and spinal deformity event support, educating surgeons worldwide. The FDA nod for MAGEC system with RELINE Small Stature had helped NuVasive progress with its ‘Embracing the Journey Together’ program.
