Post Falls, Idaho-based Northwest Specialty Hospital is the first specialty hospital in the U.S. to provide spine surgery with the Aprevo device, according to a Sept. 28 news release.
Aprevo is an FDA-designated breakthrough device that is patient-specific. It's also designated as a transformative new device by Medicare.
"Offering Aprevo to our patients represents an important step to advancing surgical outcomes in spinal care and exemplifies our commitment to offering our patients the best care possible," said Roland Kent, MD, co-owner of the hospital and co-founder of Northwest Specialty Hospital's Axis Spine Center in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
