DePuy Spine Inc. released the Expedium Neuromuscular System designed to help surgeons address spinal and pelvic deformity in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis.
According to a company press release, the new modular system consists of pro-contoured rods and proximal connectors, open and closed iliac screw designs and wires, and addresses neuromuscular scoliosis in patients with neuromuscular disorders, such as cerebral palsy and muscular dystrophy.
“We heard from surgeons that treating neuromuscular scoliosis is a challenging part of their practice and that they needed a system designed specifically for this type of patient,” Namal Nawana, worldwide president of DePuy Spine, stated in the release. “The Expedium Neuromuscular System is that system. It provides a procedural solution that simplifies the correction procedure and optimizes the time in the operating room.”
