Community Medical Center in Toms River, N.J. added NuVasive's Pulse spine platform, according to a news release shared in The Link News.
Spine surgeon Sean Jandhyala, MD, and neurosurgeon Stephen Johnson, MD, completed multiple cases with Pulse since the hospital received it in February. Pulse is designed to improve precision, safety and efficiency in spine surgery.
"A procedure that would have normally required several hours in the operating room, now is significantly less with the Pulse," Dr. Jandhyala said in the release. "Besides decreased time under anesthesia, we are finding that our patients have less pain during their recovery process and are left with smaller incisions."
