ZimVie Announces Over 2,000 Children Have Received The Tether™ VBT
24 Octobre 2023 - 2:00PM
ZimVie Inc. (Nasdaq: ZIMV), a global life sciences leader in the
dental and spine markets, today announced that over 2,000 children
worldwide have been treated with The Tether™ Vertebral Body
Tethering System. The Tether was approved as a Humanitarian Device
by the FDA in 2019, based on over seven years of clinical data.
Over fifty surgeons have performed VBT using the market-leading
Tether system to treat patients diagnosed with adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis.
Dr. Baron Lonner, Chief of Minimally Invasive Scoliosis Surgery
and Pediatric Spine at Mount Sinai Hospital and Professor of
Orthopaedic Surgery at Icahn School of Medicine in New York,
shared, “I have been in practice dedicating my career to the
treatment of patients with scoliosis for 28 years. The Tether has
been an amazing advance that has allowed my patients to have
correction of their scoliosis while avoiding a fusion, with a
faster return to sports and other activities. It has been a game
changer.”
“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,” added 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.”
About The Tether™The Tether is a Humanitarian
Device authorized by Federal law for use in the treatment of
skeletally immature patients that require surgical treatment to
obtain and maintain correction of progressive idiopathic scoliosis,
with 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 be intolerant to brace wear. The effectiveness of
this device for this use has not been demonstrated. Post-operative
risks include inadequate curve correction, overcorrection of the
instrumented curve, cord breakage, and bone screw migration. Full
