NuVasive is a medical device company focused on the design,
development, and marketing of products for the surgical treatment
of spine disorders. The Company's product portfolio is focused
primarily on the $4.6 billion U.S. spine implant market.
Additionally, the Company has expanded into the $1.5 billion global
biologics market, the $1.5 billion international market, and is
developing products for the emerging motion preservation market.
NuVasive's principal product offering is based on its Maximum
Access Surgery, or MAS platform. The MAS platform combines four
categories of products that collectively minimize soft tissue
disruption during spine surgery with maximum visualization and
safe, easy reproducibility for the surgeon: NeuroVision , a
proprietary software-driven nerve avoidance system; MaXcess , a
unique split-blade retractor system; a wide variety of specialized
implants; and several biologic fusion enhancers. MAS significantly
reduces surgery time and returns patients to activities of daily
living much faster than conventional approaches. Having redefined
spine surgery with the MAS platform's lateral approach, known as
eXtreme Lateral Interbody Fusion, or XLIF , NuVasive has built an
entire spine franchise. With nearly 50 products today spanning
lumbar, thoracic and cervical applications, the Company will
continue to expand and evolve its offering predicated on its
R&D focus and dedication to outstanding service levels
supported by a culture of Absolute Responsiveness . NuVasive
