PRECICE MAX

Precice MAX (Internal Method)

The field of limb lengthening surgery is experiencing a remarkable evolution with the introduction of PRECICE MAX, a state-of-the-art advancement in internal limb lengthening systems. Developed by NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics™ (now part of Globus Medical), PRECICE MAX builds on the legacy of its predecessors and introduces groundbreaking features designed to enhance patient outcomes and streamline the lengthening process.

What is PRECICE MAX ?

PRECICE MAX is the latest innovation in limb lengthening technology, designed to address the limitations of previous models such as the PRECICE 2. This advanced intramedullary nail system incorporates cutting-edge design and technology to offer a more effective and comfortable solution for limb lengthening, bone transport, and fracture fixation. With FDA approval granted in December 2023, PRECICE MAX is now poised to transform the field with its enhanced capabilities.

PRECICE MAX Intramedullary Nail

The PRECICE MAX intramedullary nail represents a significant advancement in limb lengthening technology, incorporating cutting-edge features to enhance both precision and patient experience. Made from high-grade titanium, the PRECICE MAX nail is designed to be both durable and lightweight.

The PRECICE MAX Limb Lengthening System utilizes advanced electromagnetic technology for precise length adjustments. This system incorporates an internal gear mechanism that is remotely controlled through non-invasive magnetic interaction. The PRECICE External Remote Controller (ERC) is a portable, handheld device that enables users to manage the lengthening process effortlessly.

PRECICE MAX offers four distinct diameters: 10mm, 11.5mm, 13mm, and 14mm. This range allows for a more customized fit based on the patient’s specific anatomical needs. As the diameter of the nail increases, its load-bearing capacity improves, providing greater support during the lengthening procedure. The choice of diameter is determined by the dimensions of the patient's intramedullary canal, ensuring optimal performance and safety during the surgery.

PRECICE MAX External Remote Controller (ERC)

The PRECICE MAX External Remote Controller (ERC) is an advanced, portable, hand-held device designed for precise control over the lengthening of the PRECICE MAX intramedullary nail. This user-friendly unit allows for accurate adjustments to the nail’s length at the touch of a button, following the surgeon’s prescribed plan.

Equipped with sophisticated technology, the PRECICE MAX ERC interacts non-invasively with the PRECICE MAX implant using magnetic fields. It offers flexibility and customization tailored to each patient's specific lengthening needs. The ERC can be used in both clinical settings and at home, providing convenience and ease of use throughout the treatment process.

The ERC's advanced features enable fine-tuned adjustments, ensuring precise control over the lengthening process while monitoring progress closely. This facilitates seamless integration of treatment protocols, promoting optimal bone growth and patient satisfaction throughout the limb lengthening journey.

Key Features of PRECICE MAX

Enhanced Weight-Bearing Capacity: One of the standout features of PRECICE MAX is its ability to support full weight-bearing earlier in the recovery process. Unlike previous systems, PRECICE MAX allows patients to bear their full body weight during the lengthening process, facilitating greater mobility and a quicker return to daily activities.

Enhanced Weight-Bearing Capacity: A notable advancement with PRECICE MAX is its ability to support full weight-bearing much earlier in the recovery process. Unlike its predecessors, PRECICE MAX is engineered to handle the full body weight of patients during the lengthening phase. This enhanced weight-bearing capability promotes increased mobility and a faster return to daily activities, providing a significant improvement in patient comfort and functionality.
Versatile Nail Sizes: PRECICE MAX is available in a range of diameters—10mm, 11.5mm, 13mm, and 14mm—allowing for precise customization based on individual patient anatomy. This versatility ensures optimal fit and function, enhancing both the safety and efficacy of the lengthening procedure.
Strong and Durable Nails: PRECICE MAX Nails is engineered with high-strength materials designed to endure higher stress and loading. This robust design ensures long-term stability and reliability throughout the lengthening process, offering a more resilient solution compared to previous systems.
Advanced Internal Mechanism: The PRECICE MAX system incorporates a sophisticated internal gear mechanism that is activated and controlled remotely using a handheld External Remote Controller (ERC). This advanced technology enables precise and gradual bone lengthening without the need for external fixators, reducing discomfort and risk of complications.
FDA Approval and Safety: Having received FDA approval, PRECICE MAX has undergone rigorous testing to ensure its safety and effectiveness. This certification underscores the system's reliability and its alignment with the highest standards of medical practice.
Improved Postoperative Experience: With its enhanced design, PRECICE MAX aims to minimize the postoperative challenges associated with limb lengthening. Patients can expect a more comfortable recovery, with a reduced need for prolonged bed rest and an accelerated return to normal activities.
Future Availability: While PRECICE MAX is initially being introduced in the United States, its global rollout is anticipated in the coming years. As the system becomes more widely available, it is expected to offer significant benefits to patients worldwide.
