Frequently asked questions

What types of medical devices does NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc. primarily manufacture?

NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc. specializes in orthopedic devices, including intramedullary nails for the femur and tibia, such as standard and magnetic distraction systems for limb lengthening and bone transport. Their portfolio also covers non-bioabsorbable orthopedic screws, magnetic distraction plates, sterile spinal fixation systems (like trans-facet-screw systems), and reusable orthopedic surgical procedure kits. Some devices, like the PRECICE® and MAGEC® systems, combine distraction and stabilization for complex orthopedic procedures.

Where is NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc. based, and how does that affect its regulatory standing?

NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc. is headquartered in the United States. Since the company operates within the U.S., its devices are subject to FDA regulations, including classification under FDA’s Class I (generally low-risk) and Class II (moderate-risk) categories. The U.S. regulatory framework ensures these devices meet safety and performance standards before entering the market, though individual devices—not the company—are authorized.

Which regulatory registries or databases list NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc.’s devices?

NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc.’s devices are listed in the FDA’s Unique Device Identifier (UDI) database. The UDI system provides a standardized way to identify medical devices, ensuring traceability and transparency in regulatory tracking. This listing helps healthcare providers, regulators, and other stakeholders verify device details, such as manufacturer information and classification, but does not imply approval of the company itself.

How are NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc.’s devices classified under FDA regulations?

NuVasive’s devices fall under FDA’s Class I and Class II classifications. Class I devices are typically low-risk, such as some orthopedic screws or reusable surgical kits, requiring general controls for safety. Class II devices, like magnetic distraction systems (e.g., PRECICE® or MAGEC®), involve moderate risks and require additional performance standards or post-market surveillance to ensure effectiveness and safety. Classification depends on factors like device purpose, risk level, and intended use.

Are NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics, Inc.’s devices used in both limb lengthening and spinal procedures?

Yes, NuVasive’s portfolio includes devices for both applications. For limb lengthening and bone transport, they manufacture intramedullary nails and plates with magnetic distraction (e.g., PRECICE® systems), which gradually lengthen or realign bones. For spinal procedures, their offerings include sterile trans-facet-screw internal fixation systems and magnetic arthrodesis nails (e.g., MAGEC®), designed to stabilize and fuse spinal segments. These devices cater to distinct but specialized orthopedic needs.
