Overview
AI-generated summary, 20 Sep 2026
The Precice Intramedullary Limb Lengthening System is an intramedullary device designed for gradual, controlled lengthening of the femur or tibia. It employs a remote-controlled magnetic distraction mechanism to achieve precise, non-invasive elongation of long bones, facilitating surgical correction of limb length discrepancies. The system is intended for orthopedic applications where incremental bone growth is required, such as in congenital or acquired limb deformities. Its design integrates an internal drive mechanism activated externally, eliminating the need for external fixation hardware.
The system is supplied sterile and intended for single-use implantation. It is regulated under FDA 510(k) clearance (K113219) as substantially equivalent to a predicate device, with approval for orthopedic use. Implantation requires surgical placement within the medullary cavity of the femur or tibia, followed by gradual lengthening via an external remote controller. Storage and handling must adhere to sterile medical device protocols. The device is classified under product code HSB and is manufactured by Ellipse Technologies, Inc.
