OrthoPediatrics announced its presence at the North American Spine Society 30th annual meeting in Chicago, Illinois , from today to Saturday. As a company with an exclusive focus on developing orthopedic devices for children, OrthoPediatrics looks forward to presenting the pediatric-specific technology found in its Response™ Spine System to all spine care professionals in attendance, the announcement states. With over 170 cases completed within the first few months of release, the Response Spine System has seen clinical success and advances in correcting spinal deformities in pediatric patients, according to the Warsaw company. The system is designed to specifically address the needs of children with spinal deformities by featuring low-profile implants that accept 5.5mm or 6.0mm diameter rods and intuitive instrumentation to promote ease of use in pediatric anatomy. The system features the Jiminy™ Rod Reducer instrument, which is designed to snap on and off easily and enables each surgeon to perform reduction and de-rotation techniques for the most complex spinal deformities. “The Response Spine System was developed with pediatric orthopedic surgeons and for pediatric surgeons to provide the pediatric spinal deformity patients exactly what they need,” said Jeff Smithey, vice president of Spine for OrthoPediatrics, in the announcement, “and this innovative technology from OrthoPediatrics further represents our commitment as the only company completely focused on providing high quality solutions for pediatric orthopedic patients.”
