NuVasive Receives FDA 510(k) Clearance Reinforcing Comprehensive Portfolio Supporting Pediatric, Adolescent and Adult Spinal Deformity Patients - Seite 2

Sonia's mother, Sonia Rafaela Garcia Navarro, shared, "I was willing to do whatever it took to find help for my daughter. As a single mother in a remote village in Mexico, we had exhausted our options, and were without hope. However, thanks to Dr. Cho and his clinical staff, Shriners Hospital and NuVasive, I'm speechless. Sonia's best days are ahead."

NuVasive's minimally invasive, procedurally-integrated solutions feature a full portfolio of market-leading spinal deformity technologies, supporting pediatric, adolescent and adult deformities. NuVasive has a rich history of revolutionizing the treatment of adult deformity with the Reline system, Integrated Global Alignment platform (iGA™), Anterior Lumber Interbody Fusion (ALIF) and eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF®) Anterior Column Realignment™ (ACR) systems. Details of the two technologies from the Company's comprehensive deformity portfolio that Dr. Cho leveraged to successfully treat Sonia include:

• MAGEC is comprised of a single-use spinal rod that is surgically implanted to brace the spine during growth and includes a small internal magnet controlled by an external remote controller. Periodic lengthening of the rod is performed in an office setting where the surgeon externally controls the implant, eliminating the need for a series of distraction surgeries used in the traditional surgical treatment for young patients.

• The Reline portfolio reflects an evolution of posterior fixation technology, and is integrated with the iGA platform to treat patients through traditional open or minimally-invasive procedures. Whether preserving or restoring spinal alignment, Reline's single system addresses the spectrum of spinal pathologies from adult degenerative and deformity to specialized pediatric deformity.

Attendees of the 51^st Annual Scoliosis Research Society annual meeting in Prague, Czech Republic will have the opportunity to learn more about the MAGEC system, as guest speakers David Marks and Dr. Sulken Shah discuss best practices on September 22 at 4:30 p.m. in the Corinthia Hotel Prague.
