Precice™

Key Benefits

Fewer total procedures

Patients treated with Precice™ for limb length discrepancy (LLD) have fewer surgeries than the previous standard of care.³

Patient preferred

Physical therapy is less challenging, and patients can return to full range of motion (ROM) and daily activity quicker.^1,2

Less pain medication

Pain scores and length of time required for prescription pain medication are significantly lower than the previous standard of care.^1,2

Avoid operating on the healthy limb

It is no longer required to shorten the healthy limb to avoid pain and issues associated with an external frame.^1,2

Quicker healing

It takes an average of 31.3 days to heal with Precice™ compared to 47.1 days with an external device.^1,2

Weight bear faster

Patients experience an earlier ability to bear full weight without aids compared to a mono-lateral frame.^1,2

Regenerate speed and formation

Regenerate forms faster with less deformity.^1,2

Accuracy

Physicians are able to achieve the desired lengthening through ERC technology.^1,2

Fewer scars

Patients report feeling significantly happier with fewer scars.^1,2

State-of-the-Art Reconstruction Solutions

Precice™ Limb Lengthening System

The Precice™ Intramedullary Limb Lengthening (IMLL) System is an adjustable, state-of-the-art device that utilizes an external, hand-held remote control to non-invasively lengthen the femur or tibia postoperatively. Interaction between magnets in the device and the ERC allows for precise, adjustable, and customizable distraction throughout the lengthening phase of treatment. Following the corticotomy and during the lengthening phase, the Precice™ implant is gradually lengthened externally with the handheld ERC based on patient requirements.

Plate Assisted Bone Segment Transport

Traditional bone transport treatment can be burdensome. Plate Assisted Bone Segment Transport (PABST) is a bone transport technique that combines the Precice™ nail with a locking plate to treat long bone defects, offering a simple, internal solution to treat segmental bone defects caused by a tumor or trauma.
