FDA has cleared two Medicrea Group 510(k)s for its PASSXS posterior fixation and LigaPASSXS **band connector components designed** to address pediatric spinal deformities in small stature patients. The company says it has worked with a team of leading pediatric spinal surgeons to develop low-profile implants specially tailored for the unique demands of pediatric deformity surgery. “The extra-small ‘XS’ extension of the PASS and LigaPASS technology will enable surgeons to now effectively treat pediatric patients using around 40% less implant volume in each surgery and the lowest construct profile *in-situ* available on the market, while still offering the same technical innovations of the PASS LPand LigaPASS systems used on adults and UNiD Lab patient-specific, digital surgical planning and analytical services,” it says.
