NuVasive's MAGEC System Featured in Live Surgery Event at the Spine Hospital at NewYork-Presbyterian - Seite 2

The MAGEC System

MAGEC is comprised of a sterile, single use spinal rod that is surgically implanted to brace the spine during growth and includes a small internal magnet that is controlled by an external remote controller. Periodic lengthening of the rod is performed externally to distract the spine in an office setting, eliminating distraction surgeries and helping to simplify care.

Earlier this month, the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) granted a new technology add-on payment (NTAP) for magnetically controlled growth rods. For a technology to qualify for an NTAP in the inpatient setting, the solution must demonstrate a substantial clinical improvement relative to available alternatives.
