OrthoPediatrics received the Breakthrough Device Designation from FDA for its eLLi surgical device, an implant designed to address severe pathology associated with Early Onset Scoliosis (EOS), which can be associated with thoracic insufficiency.
eLLi aims to provide a non-invasive means of extending the growing rods that provides increased force, enhanced mechanical reliability and superior distraction precision, while also addressing safety concerns associated with current technology. eLLi will allow surgeons a new alternative to address deformity of the growing spine with an advanced technology that will complement our efforts to build a platform of EOS technologies.
David Bailey, OrthoPediatrics’ President & CEO, commented, “Receiving the Breakthrough Device designation from the FDA is a great achievement for our team. This innovative product will be a great addition to our suite of products for pediatric patients with Scoliosis and represents our commitment to continuous innovation and advancing healthcare for children all over the world. I’m incredibly proud of my colleagues for all the work they are doing to deliver novel technologies to our surgeon customers and the KIDS they treat!”
