WARSAW, Ind., April 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OrthoPediatrics Corp. (“OrthoPediatrics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: KIDS), a company focused exclusively on advancing the field of pediatric orthopedics, today announced the expansion of its OrthoPediatrics Specialty Bracing (“OPSB”) portfolio with a new product launch, the TRAXIO Complete - Weight System, in collaboration with Synetik Group, Inc.
The Halo Gravity Traction system was designed to deliver controlled, weight-based axial traction for gradual spinal realignment in infants, children, and adolescents for Children’s hospitals to advance their standard of pediatric spine care. TRAXIO is a non-active, mechanical traction system that uses a weight-and-pulley mechanism to generate and maintain a prescribed traction load to the pediatric spine. Intended for use in controlled hospital environments, the system supports halo gravity traction therapy when used in conjunction with a compatible, separately cleared cranial halo ring and pin system.
Joe Hauser, OrthoPediatrics Specialty Bracing division President, commented, “The introduction of TRAXIO reflects our ongoing commitment to advancing pediatric scoliosis through thoughtful innovation,” said Joe Hauser, OP President. “TRAXIO offers a reliable, adaptable traction system that supports patient safety while reinforcing our focus on important solutions often overlooked by others, and meaningfully extends the continuum of care from bracing through surgery when needed.”
Greg Odle, President of Scoliosis at OrthoPediatrics added, “We continue to strengthen the depth of our scoliosis products, and the addition of TRAXIO represents yet another expansion of this platform. By pairing halo gravity traction with our existing deformity correction implants, we are strengthening our position as a comprehensive partner to pediatric spine surgeons and extending our impact beyond the operating room.”
