SAN DIEGO, CA --(Marketwired - December 01, 2016) - NuVasive, Inc. (
"Our mission is to help surgeons achieve total sagittal alignment and deliver more predictable clinical outcomes for patients through global alignment of the spine," said Jason Hannon, NuVasive's president and chief operating officer. "With the newly expanded iGA platform, we expect to build off of the tremendous momentum we have seen with iGA to meet the needs of patients with varying cervical pathologies."
iGA is a proprietary, procedurally-integrated platform of specialized tools and software designed to help surgeons achieve more precise spinal column alignment. The expanded platform provides surgeons an intuitive software workflow to pre-plan their surgical procedure and then confirm achievement of the desired correction both intraoperatively and post-operatively. It also includes hardware tools, such as Bendini® OCT computer assisted rod bending technology, VuePoint® II OCT fixation system, and the CoRoent® Small Interlock Hyperlordotic system, that enhance the surgeon's ability to achieve the intended spinal alignment. The newly launched CoRoent Small Interlock Hyperlordotic system allows surgeons to address cervical sagittal deformities from an anterior approach with interbodies that have up to 20 degrees of lordosis.
NuVasive is committed to a global approach for assessing, preserving and restoring spinal alignment in an effort to promote surgical efficiencies, lasting patient outcomes and improved quality of life. NuVasive's differentiated technology helps surgeons:
- C alculate the patient's cervical alignment and preoperatively plan prior to surgery,
- Correct and assess the cervical spine intraoperatively through integrated procedural solutions, and
- Confirm postoperatively to reconcile the preoperative plan and the intraoperative assessment.
