ZimVie announces over 2,000 children have received The Tether VBT

ZimVie announced that over 2,000 children worldwide have been treated with The Tether Vertebral Body Tethering System.

We remain dedicated to developing the market for vertebral body tethering and restoring daily life for this special group of patients.”
