NuVasive, Inc., a medical device company focused on transforming spine surgery with minimally disruptive, procedurally-integrated solutions, recently announced that it will participate in BritSpine 2016 held April 6-8, 2016 at Nottingham Conference Centre, in Nottingham, England. NuVasive’s participation at BritSpine will include numerous education workshops and exhibitions of the Company’s procedurally-integrated spine surgery offerings. This will include the first-time introduction of NuVasive’s Integrated Global Alignment (iGA) platform to the U.K. market, representing a significant advancement in the historical approach to spine surgery by integrating procedural technology and tools into one platform to help address proper alignment.

Paul Kosters, NuVasive’s Vice President of Europe, Middle East and Africa, said, “We are pleased to participate at BritSpine 2016 as NuVasive deepens our commitment to providing surgeons throughout the U.K. with access to our highly differentiated, minimally invasive spinal solutions. Addressing a variety of pathologies up and down the spine, from complex spinal deformity to degenerative spinal conditions, NuVasive’s highly differentiated solutions increase the value of care by delivering both an improved patient experience and better economics for customers and the healthcare system. At BritSpine, we are eager to showcase our latest game-changing iGA technology that centers on achieving the integrated global alignment of the spine, which has proven to be the most correlative element to successful, long-term surgical outcomes. This combination of industry-leading procedural solutions will be a driving force as we continue to expand in the U.K. and partner with surgeons to help them deliver superior surgical outcomes.”

This biennial scientific congress of the United Kingdom Spine Societies Board Ltd (UKSSB) represents a gathering of delegates from three British spine organizations, including the Society for Back Pain Research (SBPR), the British Scoliosis Society (BSS) and the British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS). The object of UKSSB is to promote the development of treatment of spinal disorders through education, study and research for the benefit of the public and the United Kingdom.
