The PRECICE^® Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System is a novel adjustable state-of-the-art device that utilises a remote control to non-invasively lengthen the femur or tibia. PRECICE is used to treat long bone abnormalities often the result of acute or chronic fractures.

Benefits

• Customizable Lengthening Protocol
• Non-invasive Distraction Via External Remote Controller
• Patient Preferred Treatment Option
• Novel Magnetic Technology
• Up to 80mm of Distraction
• Nail May Be Reversed

State-of-the-Art Technology

The key to the NuVasive^® platform technology is the magnetic interaction between the PRECICE^® intramedullary (IM) nail and remote control. The proprietary technology includes a complex internal gear system remotely activated and controlled by permanent magnets. This advancement in limb lengthening allows for a precision-controlled distraction phase with the ability to non-invasively customize treatment.

External Remote Controller (ERC)

The ERC is a portable, hand held unit that precisely lengthens or shortens the IM nail through the touch of a button. The ERC is fully customizable to each patient based on their distraction needs. The ERC is designed to be used in a clinic setting or the comfort of the patient’s home.
