OrthoPediatrics has launched its VerteGlide Spinal Growth Guidance System, a device designed to treat early onset scoliosis in children.
The system is designed to correct spinal deformities while allowing the spine to continue growing, according to a Nov. 9 news release.
VerteGlide uses spinal growth guidance principles to provide three-dimensional deformity correction while preserving growth through additional vertebral segments.
Greg Odle, president of OrthoPediatrics Scoliosis, said adoption has been strong across the U.S., reflecting growing interest among pediatric spine surgeons in growth-guidance technologies. The system uses Shilla technology licensed from Medtronic.
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.
