Problem
Traditional methods of limb lengthening and skeletal deformity correction can be painful, lack precision, and lead to complications, resulting in prolonged recovery times for patients. Current external and internal fixation systems may not offer the adjustability needed to accommodate individual healing and growth patterns during treatment.
Solution
Synoste (Globus Medical) develops magnetically adjustable technology for limb reconstruction, enabling real-time adjustments during implantation and throughout the treatment course. The Precice system allows surgeons to non-invasively lengthen or correct bone deformities with greater precision and control. This technology aims to reduce pain, minimize complications, and accelerate recovery by accommodating the clinical needs of patients as they heal. The system provides a tailored approach to limb reconstruction, allowing for adjustments that align with the patient's unique physiological response.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons specializing in limb lengthening and reconstruction procedures, as well as patients with skeletal deformities or limb length discrepancies.
