Pediatrics
By challenging conventional thinking, NuVasive remains determined to provide simplified and powerful solutions to tackle even the most complex pediatric deformities. We are dedicated to actively progressing our clinical education and research in order to become your number one partner in pediatrics.
Elevating the standard of pediatric care
NuVasive is placing significant investment in the development of pediatric deformity solutions across the full spectrum of pediatric surgical indications. We're committed to elevating the standard of patient care by continuing to innovate within our current treatment options and by partnering with the surgical community to foster and develop new techniques and technologies.

Early-onset scoliosis (EOS) solutions
NuVasive has designed EOS treatments that work together, with a child's size in mind. Reline Small Stature adds strength without sacrificing size, and the MAGEC system utilizes innovative magnetic technology within adjustable growing rods and an external remote controller to avoid repeated distraction surgeries from the treatment for EOS.
MAGEC: A novel approach to EOS treatment
The MAGEC system uses growing rods similarly implanted as with traditional approaches, but with subsequent noninvasive distractions. Planned distractions take place in an office setting, are generally quick and relatively painless, and the child can often return to activity soon after the office visit (per the doctor's guidance on acceptable activities).* The doctor will typically decide when the patient has matured enough to remove the MAGEC rods.**
EOS treatment reduces the patient's risk of
acquiring infections.1,4
shown that MAGEC is cost-neutral to traditional
growing rod treatment.6,7
Reline Small Stature: Deformity fixation solution for a pediatric patient population
Multiple rod options in one low-profile tulip
Instrumentation designed to help surgeons gain heightened anatomical awareness to optimize implant placement
Differentiated alternative thoracic fixation implants, coupled with the continued addition of next generation devices
Adolescent-idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) solution
Reline 3D: Powerful and efficient deformity correction
Reline 3D is a posterior fixation system hat unifies traditional deformity techniques into one efficient and holistic procedure to achieve simultaneous and powerful three-dimensional correction in the treatment of AIS. Through its versatility and streamlined surgical steps and instruments, Reline 3D delivers an efficient procedural solution for adolescent deformity.
Powerful three dimensional correction
Optimized load sharing across segments for simultaneous translation, kyphosis restoration and derotation
Simplified procedure to drive OR efficiencies
Minimize common surgical challenges including lateral rod capture, unwanted tower disengagement and rod flattening
Versatile system applications for a reproducible experience
Adaptable to any correction technique, reduces guesswork, and provides multiple rod options in one low-profile tulip
Neuromuscular and other conditions
VersaTie Sublaminar band system
A posterior band system designed to address the variable needs of spine surgery with flexibility in the treatment of complex clinical pathologies.
Sublaminar fixation
Gives surgeons the ability to capture bone without relying on screws
Can be used as primary or supplemental fixation
Translation
Can achieve rod and spine translation by applying multiple connectors at the apex of the curve (sublaminar fixation at multiple levels)
Offers complex rod reduction and translation capabilities with powerful yet controlled threaded mechanism while preserving bone,
