This is the company’s 71st system used to treat pediatric patients with orthopedic conditions, according to a March 4 press release.
It is the company’s first solution to treat early onset scoliosis patients, specifically those associated with or at risk of thoracic insufficiency syndrome, a condition that interferes with lung function and development.
The Response system includes implants and instruments for rib and pelvic fixation. It also includes a range of implant options, low profile implants, range of motion rib hooks and locking options to keep implants in place.
The new rib and pelvic system is compatible with 5.5/6.0 and 4.5/5.0 Response systems, allowing surgeons to treat the entire spectrum of patients with scoliosis, according to the release.
