NuVasive Launches Next-Gen Reline Spine Fixation System

NuVasive has launched its Reline MAS Midline (RMM), the next evolution of its Reline system designed to provide procedural versatility in a compact midline construct. The San Diego, CA-based company said the RMM incorporates extremely low-profile modular implants and advanced system instrumentation to address alignment and potentially reduce adjacent segment transition syndrome. The system, when combined with NuVasive access and interbody technologies, is designed to provide a minimally invasive approach to bilateral decompression under complete visualization, interbody fusion, and stabilization with pedicle screws. Delivering screw modularity, RMM allows for greater procedural flexibility while enhancing visibility and access. RMM tulip pull-off strength is comparable to preassembled pedicle screws, NuVasive noted. Enhanced fixation is achieved with the company's cortical cancellous traction thread form. The system's 5.0mm cobalt chrome construct is low in profile and boasts fatigue strength comparable to 5.5mm titanium. "RMM posterior fixation represents the most advanced midline cortical pedicle screw system on the market," said minimally invasive spine surgeon Dr. Nitin Khanna, Clinical Faculty of Orthopedic Surgery at the Indiana University School of Medicine and partner at Orthopedic Specialists of Northwest Indiana. "The introduction of modular, low-profile tulip heads was designed to address concerns with adjacent segment facet joint impingement. This system fu...
