About NuVasive
NuVasive is a medical device company focused on the design, development,
and marketing of products for the surgical treatment of spine disorders. The
Company's product portfolio is focused primarily on the $4.6 billion U.S.
spine implant market. Additionally, the Company has expanded into the $1.5
billion global biologics market, the $1.5 billion international market, and is
developing products for the emerging motion preservation market.
NuVasive's principal product offering is based on its Maximum Access
Surgery, or MAS platform. The MAS platform combines four categories of
products that collectively minimize soft tissue disruption during spine
surgery with maximum visualization and safe, easy reproducibility for the
surgeon: NeuroVision , a proprietary software-driven nerve avoidance system;
MaXcess , a unique split-blade retractor system; a wide variety of specialized
implants; and several biologic fusion enhancers. MAS significantly reduces
surgery time and returns patients to activities of daily living much faster
than conventional approaches. Having redefined spine surgery with the MAS
platform's lateral approach, known as eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion, or
XLIF , NuVasive has built an entire spine franchise. With nearly 50 products
today spanning lumbar, thoracic and cervical applications, the Company will
continue to expand and evolve its offering predicated on its R&D focus and
dedication to outstanding service levels supported by a culture of Absolute
Responsiveness .
