Description
The challenge of distal locking in humeral procedures
One of the most critical steps in humeral intramedullary nailing is distal locking, which, in conventional procedures, often relies on fluoroscopy. This surgical step can be time-consuming, increases radiation exposure, and requires significant concentration from the surgeon. The accuracy and predictability of the process are key to the surgical outcome.
Radiation-free distal locking
The MAGIC system enables radiation-free distal locking, thereby supporting a more predictable, more accurate and guided surgical workflow in humeral intramedullary nailing as well. The focus is not on the technology, but on the surgical outcome: reduced radiation use, more controlled targeting and a better surgical experience for the surgeon.
MAGIC – magnetic surgical navigation
MAGIC is a magnetic surgical navigation solution that supports the critical step of distal targeting and locking. The value of the system lies in its workflow-level approach: it provides guided, intuitive and reproducible surgical steps without the need for additional investment infrastructure. This allows the technology to fit seamlessly into existing surgical practice.
