The MIScoli™ system is one of a few VBT devices that are under investigation, or limited market release, in many countries. Various medical device developers have committed to developing VBT solutions to serve an unmet need in the scoliosis surgical treatment market.
The MIScoli System was honored to have been designated as a Breakthrough Device by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA).
VBT is a promising and lesser invasive alternative to spine fusion, today’s standard of care when adolescents need a surgical intervention to correct a curvature of the spine. Patients, and their parents, are looking for treatment options that are less traumatic than fusion, which is associated with long in hospital and at-home recovery times, growth and mobility restrictions, longer term pain and narcotics requirements and significant surgical scars.
About Spinologics
Spinologics was founded in 2010 by three Orthopedics spine surgeons from Montreal (Canada): Dr Hubert Labelle, Dr Stefan Parent and Dr Jean-Marc Mac-Thiong. The idea was to create a complementary R&D environment to their university work, where they could develop surgical tools for back surgery.https://www.spinologics.ca
