NuVasive Orthopedics
NuVasive Specialized Orthopedics (NSO) is an internal division of NuVasive focused on the design and development of innovative orthopaedic solutions, including its proprietary platform of magnetically adjustable implant systems, based on its MAGnetic External Control (MAGEC) technology. MAGEC enables caregivers to customize therapy for patients in a non-invasive manner, reducing the need for further repeat surgical procedures and providing improvements in patient clinical outcomes and quality of life.
Precice
The Precice system is an intramedullary device to help patients with limb length discrepancy. It is an innovative and market leading solution, based on the magnetic tecnology of NSO, which allows distraction until 80 cm. The nail presents an inner magnet that is connected to a threaded screw with no end through a series of gear. Once the nail is implanted, it can be lengthened thanks to the interaction between the inner magnet and an external device, i.e. External Remote Controller (ERC). The ERC is a programmable instrument, which acts on the internal magnet allowing lengthening/shortening of the nail. ERC programming enables the surgeon to customize the lengthening treatment, guaranteeing a controlled distraction phase. The patient is able to perform lengthening at home, in a non-invasive and independent way.
Precice is realized in Titanium and it is available with 3 different diameters (8.5, 10.7 e 12.5 mm) and different lengths; therefore, it results suitable for patients with small medullary canal. The nails are available for femur (antegrade/retrograde), tibia and humerus.
Precice Stryde
The Stryde system is a next-generation solution to help patients with limb length discrepancy. Leveraging the Precice system technology, Stryde has 400% increased postoperative weight bearing, thanks to is material (amagnetic stainless steel).
Stryde nail is available with 3 different diameters (10, 11.5 and 13mm) and different lengths.
Merete
Merete is an owner-managed German company representing one of the most innovative manufacturer of products for orthopaedics and traumatology.
BioBall
The BioBall is a very advanced system consisting of joint heads and adapter components, which has become the “gold standard” in the hip endoprosthetic revision surgery. It allows intra-operative adjustment of offset, neck length, lateralisation and antetorsion/retrotorsion with in situ stems to improve gait. The same corrections can be carried out during primary surgeries as well. The modular adapter system consists of standard and offset components, which can be combined with metal or ceramic joint head.
The adapters are available for prosthesis stem with standard tapers 12/14 and 14/16. Standard neck length corrections from -3.0mm to +21mm can be carried out with the standard adapters, while offset ones allow for a medialization or lateralization as well as a correction of retrotorsion/antetorsion, until a maximum angle of 7,5° with respect to the neck axis. Therefore, the surgeon can choose the combination of head and adapter which results most suitable for the patient.
FlexTack – RigidTack FlexTack and RigidTack are two paediatric orthopaedic systems, allowing a stable and accurate epiphysiodesis. These implants provide quick correction of varus/valgus misalignments and leg length discrepancies. Both products guarantee a precise and easy implant through a mini-invasive and short surgery and allow immediate weight bearing after operation.
The great flexibility of FlexTack system prevents breakage during treatment and lead the correction in a very accurate way, following surgeon needs.
