What is it indicated for?

The Autogenesis™ Automator™, in conjunction with standard, commercially available circular and unilateral fixation devices, may be used to perform compression or distraction on long bones. The Automator™ may replace Automator™ 2000 or manual distraction and compression devices where they are traditionally applied. Indications for such use include the following:

the correction of bony or soft tissue deformities,

limb lengthening by epiphayseal and metaphyseal distraction,

bone thickening and/or lengthening of amputated stumps,

fracture fixation (open or closed),

pseudoarthrosis or non-union of long bones,

correction of segmental bony or soft tissue defects.

Indications for use read by OCR from a scanned FDA summary, so letters may be misread. Check the PDF before quoting it.
