Over 2,000 children worldwide have been treated with ZimVie’s Tether Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT) system. The Tether was approved as a Humanitarian Device by FDA in 2019, based on more than seven years of clinical data. Over fifty surgeons have performed VBT using the Tether to treat patients diagnosed with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Tether is designed to treat skeletally immature patients who require surgical treatment to obtain and maintain correction of progressive idiopathic scoliosis, with a major Cobb angle of 30 to 65 degrees where the osseous structure is dimensionally adequate to accommodate screw fixation, as determined by radiographic imaging. Patients should have failed bracing or be intolerant to brace wear.
“Having brought this technology to over 2,000 children is a milestone that serves as a reminder of our commitment to put patients first, especially those for whom our products can have such profound and prolonged impact,” said Rebecca Whitney, Global President of ZimVie Spine. “The Tether is an important and inspirational part of our motion preservation portfolio. We remain dedicated to developing the market for vertebral body tethering and restoring daily life for this special group of patients.”
