K2M Inc. has received additional FDA clearance to treat adolescent idiopathic scoliosis with the company’s Mesa Deformity, Mesa Rail Deformity, Mesa Small Stature and Mesa Rail Small Stature Spinal Systems.
According to a company press release, the Rail is designed to address the most complex spinal curves and provides enhanced structural rigidity while maintaining a lower-profile than traditional set screw based systems. The top-loading Mesa Spinal Systems feature Zero-Torque Technology, applying zero torsional loads, or twisting forces, to the spine when locking the screw. The systems are designed to address difficult correction maneuvers while providing surgeons the ability to one-step lock.
“K2M is deeply committed to advancing care for scoliosis patients and we have developed technologies like Mesa and Rail to put new capabilities into the hands of surgeons who treat the most complex spinal deformities,” Eric Major, president and chief executive officer of K2M, stated in the release.
