Pediatric and Growing Spine
Globus Medical is committed to providing powerful, innovative solutions to tackle the most complex pediatric spinal procedures. From growing rods to growth modulation to fusion solutions, we provide a comprehensive correction portfolio, empowering surgeons to provide a surgical solution to accommodate individual patient needs.
Elevating the Standard of Pediatric Care
Globus is placing significant investment in the development of pediatric deformity solutions across the full spectrum of pediatric surgery. We are 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
We have designed EOS treatments that work together, with a child’s size in mind. Reline™ Small Stature is designed to add 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. Our newest growing rod solution, MARVEL™, provides an alternative option for those patients who may benefit from a powerful, mechanically driven and minimally invasive distraction-based technique.
Reline™ Small Stature
Historically, surgeons have had to compromise rod fatigue strength for the ideal pediatric-sized implant. Reline™ Small Stature is a pediatric deformity fixation solution that combines rod strength with low-profile implants for a small yet mighty patient population.1 The system offers multiple rod options in one low-profile tulip and instruments designed to be an extension of the surgeon’s hand.
MAGEC™
The MAGEC™ system uses innovative growing rods that are implanted similarly to traditional approaches, but with subsequent non-invasive distractions. Planned distractions take place in an office setting and are generally quick and relatively painless. The child can often return to activity soon after the office visit (per the doctor’s guidance on acceptable activities).
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS)
Globus offers versatile and advanced solutions to serve the AIS patient population. The comprehensive offering of Reline™ 3D, Reline™ VBD, and the Rod Link Reducer™ offer power and efficiency.
Reline™ 3D
Reline™ 3D is a posterior fixation system that unifies traditional deformity techniques into one efficient and holistic procedure. For complex pathologies like AIS, Reline™ 3D is designed to deliver powerful and simultaneous 3D correction. The system simplifies the procedure to enhance OR efficiency and offers versatile system applications for a consistent experience.
Reline™ VBD
Reline™ VBD (Vertebral Body Derotation) offers an evolution of instrumentation that seamlessly integrates translation and derotation steps for powerful axial correction. Rigid engagement is designed to minimize axial play and maximize control and correction. Simplified assembly and disassembly drive efficiency, and modular options accommodate a variety of techniques.
Rod Link Reducer
Originally developed at the Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, the Rod Link Reducer technique is designed to aid in the correction of severe spinal curvatures. This technique increases leverage to allow for controlled manipulation of the spine in the axial, coronal, and sagittal plane with a novel set of instruments.
Progressive Idiopathic Scoliosis
REFLECT™ is a scoliosis correction system that offers a comprehensive set of implants and instruments for correction without fusion. The centerpiece of the system is a flexible, durable, and biocompatible polymer cord with a history of clinical use.
REFLECT™
REFLECT™ Scoliosis Correction System* is an innovative minimally invasive system designed to correct progressive scoliosis in young patients while preserving motion, maintaining stability, and allowing for future modulated growth.
- Humanitarian Device. Authorized by Federal law for use in skeletally immature patients who require surgical treatment to obtain and maintain correction of progressive idiopathic scoliosis, who have a major Cobb angle of 30 to 65 degrees whose osseous structure is dimensionally adequate to accommodate screw fixation, as determined by radiographic imaging. Patients should have failed bracing and/or are intolerant to brace wear. The effectiveness of this device for this use has not been demonstrated.
CAUTION: Federal (USA) Law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician.
Prioritizing Clinical Education
Over the past 20 years, we have evolved our programs in partnership with our renowned faculty. We provide learning experiences spanning online educational resources to surgeon-led didactic courses with hands-on training, mentorship opportunities, and field-based training support.
