Controversies
In 2024 several NuVasive Japan sales representatives were photographed at the University’s Medical Center performing X-rays during spinal implant operations, acts that are illegal without accreditation. The company admitted 4 sales representatives operated X-ray machines across several hospitals in the Kanto and Kansai regions.[5]
In 2026 photos emerged of NuVasive Japan sales representatives again at Kansai Medical University’s Medical Center holding up patients' legs in a surgical ward. [6]
