Core to the NuVasive philosophy of facilitating reproducible outcomes in spine surgery is the procedural integration of neurophysiology and computer-assisted surgery technologies.
About NVM5
The NVM5 platform is a comprehensive set of intraoperative technologies specifically designed for spine surgery, including multimodality monitoring of the spinal cord and nerves, as well as refinements to the spinal rod-bending technology Bendini®.
NVM5 modalities include:
Stimulated electromyography (EMG)
Free-run EMG
Motor evoked potentials (MEP)
Somatosensory evoked p
Capabilities of the NVM5 platform in spine surgery include:
Nerve avoidance and navigation
Nerve monitoring and instrument navigation
Spinal cord monitoring
Peripheral sensory nerve monitoring
Computer-assisted, rod-bending technology
Intraoperative angular assessment tools
When do you need NVM5 monitoring?
Your physician might determine that intraoperative NVM5 EMG, MEP and/or SSEP monitoring is a good option for you if you require surgery in your cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions, such as:
Lumbar decompression
Lumbar interbody fusion from any approach: anterior (ALIF), posterior (PLIF, TLIF), lateral (XLIF®)
Lumbar pedicle screw instrumentation
Lumbar total disc replacement
Cauda equina surgery
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF)
Cervical total disc replacement
Posterior cervical fusion (PCF)
Spinal cord tumor resections
Scoliosis surgery
Thoracic vertebroplasty
