Background

MAGEC, a new remote controlled spinal distraction system has been developed so that the rod can now be lengthened ‘non-invasively’.  The rod is lengthened by an external remote controller, thereby eliminating the need for additional unnecessary surgeries.

Benefits:

• Minimally invasive implant
• Non-invasive rod adjustment via remote control
• Bi-directional axial adjustment (distraction / retraction up to 48mm)
• Precision incremental distraction
• Single or dual rod construct
• Independent distraction capability on dual rod constructs
• Meets international magnetic field safety guidelines
