Precice® Physicians

The Precice Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System is designed to lengthen the femur or tibia with precision and control. We developed the system with an adjustable intramedullary device that incorporates remote control technology using magnets.

Precice receives expanded indications for pediatric patients

Clinical Benefits

The Precice Difference

Precice is a proprietary technology that is adjustable from outside the body. This allows for constant changes at the time of implantation and over the course of treatment to accommodate the clinical needs of patients as they heal and grow. NSO enables health care providers the ability to customize therapy for patients in a non-invasive manner, reducing the need for further repeat surgical procedures, and promoting meaningful improvements in patient clinical outcomes and quality of life.

Precice postoperative surgeon control of the implant is the NSO difference.

Key Benefits

Cost savings

Less total cost for limb length discrepancy patients treated with Precice compared to previous standard of care.³

Ease of surgical application

The same technique used to implant a standard trauma rod is used to implant Precice.^1,2

Intraoperative patient customization

The surgeon can customize the implant with the fast distractor and use locking pegs, partially threaded or fully threaded screws.^1,2

Postoperative patient customization

The surgeon can customize the prescription for their patients with an ERC.^1,2

Standard of care

5 More than 15,000 patients treated with Precice since 2011.*
