OrthoPediatrics launched its VerteGlide system for scoliosis.
The new spinal growth guidance system is the company’s 80th launch and is used for early onset scoliosis, according to an April 8 news release. VerteGlide is designed for patients younger than 10 and minimizes the repeat surgeries needed until skeletal maturity.
A limited launch is planned for summer. It is made possible with Shilla technology licensed from Medtronic.
