The Braive IDE study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness in treating progressive adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The Braive system is Medtronic’s latest pediatric spine device and uses a braid secured to the spine to slow the growth of the curved side of the spine.

The study will include patients in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
