How to achieve lengthening - The Guichet Method

For those who have a medical or cosmetic need of limbs lengthening, the method developed by Dr Guichet and his staff is the most effective and the least invasive solution. It is a safe and fast system that is based on the state-of-the-art technological devices and on the early resumption of limb functionality through muscle training.

Techniques

Guichet® Nail

It is the result of years of experience and continuous improvements. It is surgically inserted inside the bone, it allows the early support on the same day of the surgery and allows the lengthening of the bone through some movements of rotation of the limb (the so-called cliqueting), to be carried out every day during the training, over the course of two months. The surgery leaves almost invisible scars.

GUICHET® NAIL

Precice Stryde®

The key to the Nuvasive platform technology is the magnetic interaction between the PRECICE STRYDE or the intramedullary nail and the remote control. The owner can control remotely thanks to a system of internal magnets, the complex gear system of the nail. This technology allows an absolute precision control and allows the customization of the treatment in a non-invasive way.
