| Minimally Invasive System |
Based upon our experience and follow up, in April
1992, Stanmore Implants introduced a re-engineered worm drive
mechanism.
The mechanism is encased within the shaft and, using an Allen
key, the telescopic implant is extended.
The length of the incision is typically 1-2cm and lengthening
procedures can often be undertaken as day cases, leading to significant
reduction in rehabilitation and in-patient duration, benefiting
the patient and reducing healthcare costs.

In early 2004, the patient is progressing very well and is still
undergoing regular lengthening procedures
