Hoffmann II MRI

The Hoffmann II MRI External FixationSystem has been designed in compliance with ASTM Designation F2503-05 and can be safely used in MRI scanners up to 3.0 Tesla*.

This means that the patient can be placed in the MRI scanner with the fixator in situ without additional risk for the patient or the MRI scanner itself.

The unique systemic approach of this design focuses on the two key areas of concern in MRI use: frame displacement due to magnetic (mechanical) forces, and frame heating due to induced electrical currents (thermal forces).

The engineers at Stryker have created MRI systems which are made of non-ferromagnetic and non-conductive materials.

This allows the surgeon to build any size or type of frame construct with no additional risk for the patient in an MRI environment up to 3.0 Tesla and is therefore rated MRI conditional.
