Globus Medical was granted approval by FDA for the REFLECT Scoliosis Correction System as the company’s first humanitarian device. REFLECT is designed to correct progressive scoliosis in young patients while preserving motion, maintaining stability and allowing for future modulated growth.
Unlike rigid metal rods for fusion, REFLECT uses a flexible, durable cord to harness the power of innate patient growth for correction. The flexible cord is tensioned on the convex side to control the curve, while allowing growth on the concave side. The implants may be inserted using a minimally invasive approach through a few small incisions between the ribs.
Kelly Baker, Senior Vice President, Regulatory and Clinical Affairs at Globus Medical, commented, “REFLECT has been available internationally for several years, and Globus Medical is very excited to make this system available to patients in the United States. This innovative solution highlights our commitment to addressing the clinical needs of the growing spine and improving the quality of life in these children.”
