OrthoPediatrics Corp. has obtained 14 product registrations in Canada over the past 12 months. This list includes three newly introduced Trauma & Deformity Correction products (Orthex, PNP|FEMUR and PediFoot) and features the RESPONSE Scoliosis family, which is comprised of RESPONSE 4.5/5.0 and 5.5/6.0 Systems and BandLoc, a pedicle-sparing, sublaminar banding technology. Designed with a complete focus on children, the RESPONSE system offers a simple, technologically advanced suite of instruments and implants to treat the distinct needs of pediatric patients with spinal deformities. The system features advanced instrument & implant technology including: 1) innovative, low profile screw design including a proprietary set screw thread design for improved fixation and reduced potential for cross threading, and 2) unique pedicle screw heads which accept a variety of rod diameters in both cobalt chrome and titanium. Further, the system has versatile reduction & de-rotation capabilities with a rod reducer instrument designed for easy snap on and off. This 2-in-1 rod reduction enables each surgeon to perform reduction and de-rotation technique of choice and serves as a rod reducer and de-rotator in one. In addition, the company has expanded the clinical use of the ApiFix system throughout Canada with center of excellence in Nova Scotia and recently initiated centers in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario. ApiFix is a posterior dynamic deformity correction system approved for use in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) patients with Lenke type 1 and Lenke type 5 curves of 35° to 60° and acts as an internal brace. Since its launch in the U.S., the feedback from surgeons has been overwhelmingly positive.
