Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.
Magnacuffs, also known as magnetic binders, were restraining magnetic cuffs made of durasteel. The cuffs incorporated micromagnetic fields that were used to hold the restraint bands in place, acting as a secondary locking mechanism that made the cuffs hard to foil and effectively tripled the strength of the durasteel. The locks used on magnacuffs were controlled by coded datachips, or fingerprint recognition.
Magnacuffs were used to shackle specially strong individuals, such as the abnormally large Bitthævrian slave, Aul Tarrus Vishav. The slaver Malak carried magnacuffs among her gear.
Several models of magnacuffs were available, including Locris Syndicated Securities' MCI-100 magnacuffs and TaggeCo.'s MagnaCuffs.
