SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/16/13 --
NuVasive, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUVA), a medical device company focused on developing minimally disruptive surgical products and procedures for the spine, featured its game-changing products and procedures and celebrated a decade of changing spine surgery at the 28th Annual North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting in New Orleans, La.
The company had a fantastic showing at NASS 2013, featuring a number of innovative products designed to expand market presence and penetration. Newly launched products like the Bendini® Spinal Rod Bending System and the XLIF Decade™ Plate, received strong surgeon interest.
"The excitement was absolutely palpable in the NuVasive booth at NASS this year," said NuVasive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alex Lukianov. "We experienced exceptional booth traffic, delivered an unprecedented number of product demonstrations, and hosted several well-attended educational surgeon presentations. The surgeon presentations focused on our procedurally integrated neuromonitoring solutions for minimally disruptive surgery, the XLIF® procedure, and game-changing new procedures and products, like Bendini, MAS® PLIF, and the PCM® Cervical Disc. I am very proud of the NuVasive team that worked diligently to make NASS 2013 a huge success."
At the meeting, NuVasive commemorated the Company's achievements over the last decade of changing spine surgery through its dedication to improving patient and surgical outcomes with a focus on Speed of Innovation®, Absolute Responsiveness®, and superior clinical results.
Throughout the past decade, hundreds of thousands of patients have benefitted from the Company's technological advancements. Patients can often walk the same day of surgery, experience less intra-operative blood loss, spend less time in the hospital, and return to work within four to six weeks.
The eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion (XLIF) procedure is just one example of how NuVasive has disrupted the spine industry with new and exciting technology. The Company continues to work with surgeons to improve each procedure to address additional indications. XLIF Corpectomy, is a minimally disruptive surgical solution for treating tumor and trauma patients, and XLIF Anterior Column Realignment (ACR™) can provide a less invasive method to address sagittal imbalance from the anterior column than traditional open procedures. Additionally, the recently launched XLIF Decade Plate System is the pinnacle in single-approach, lateral, spinal stabilization, and fusion with minimized exposure.
"By marrying the resources and technology of an innovative venture-backed company with ideas from thought leaders in the surgical community, we revolutionized spine surgery over the past 10 years," said Alex Lukianov. "It has been an incredible decade, but we are just getting started in transforming spine surgery. I am very excited to see how our innovative products and procedures will evolve and improve more patient lives through the next ten years as the first $1 Billion Start-Up!"
