OrthoPediatrics Corp. has released to market its new Power System for the RESPONSE Scoliosis portfolio.
“Scoliosis procedures are physically demanding for surgeons, and can take a toll on their bodies over time. Our new RESPONSE Power System is designed to provide a more efficient workflow, easier screw insertion, and reduced effort required during final tightening of set screws,” said Greg Odle, president of OrthoPediatrics’ Scoliosis business.
The RESPONSE Power System is a complete instrument portfolio for tapping pedicles, inserting screws, and final set screw tightening. RESPONSE Power is compatible with OrthoPediatrics’ entire fusion implant systems suite, including RESPONSE 4.5/5.0and RESPONSE 5.5/6.0 fusion systems, and BandLoc, a sublaminar banding technology. This represents the company’s 49th system for pediatric orthopedic care.
“The new Power System is a great complement to the RESPONSE Spine portfolio,” said Timothy Oswald, M.D., pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Wellstar Pediatric Orthopedic Care in Atlanta. “Being able to efficiently and safely place and secure implants is critical in fusion procedures, and the new Power System instrumentation provides significant value over manual instrumentation to accomplish these steps. One important advantage is the reduced physical demand on surgeons, which may increase our longevity in the O.R.”
Founded in 2006, OrthoPediatrics is focused exclusively on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics. It has developed a comprehensive product offering to the pediatric orthopedic market, marketing 49 systems that serve three of the largest categories within the pediatric orthopedic sector. This product offering spans trauma and deformity, scoliosis, and sports medicine/other procedures. OrthoPediatrics’ global sales organization is focused exclusively on pediatric orthopedics and distributes its products in the United States and more 70 countries worldwide.
