446 devices · GMDN 63367

Long bone distraction intramedullary nails with magnetic technology are implantable rods inserted into the medullary cavity of bones like the femur, tibia, or humerus. They use telescoping sections and integrated magnets to gradually lengthen or stabilize fractured or diseased bones, enabling precise adjustments without surgery.

These devices are typically regulated as implants, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They require compliance with orthopedic implant standards and may involve specialized approvals for magnetic components and length-adjustment mechanisms.
