V-Steady is an high viscosity acrylic-based radiopaque bone cement which present a long working time.
It is ready for use immediately after mixing and loading phase (in about two minutes) and it maintains this consistency for approximately 9 minutes of injecting time, with a total hardening of 15 minutes.
Characteristics:
Prolonged maintenance of the high calibrated viscosity suitable for both kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty surgeries;
High concentration and homogeneous distribution of the contrast agent which allows an optimal visualization on the radioscopic monitoring devices;
Specifically formulated to prevent the surgeon from the risk of cement leakage out of the vertebral body. This is especially feasible because of the high viscosity immediately visible after the mixing phase;
The reduced waiting time and immediate high viscosity do not foreclose the use of the accessories for the mixing and application of the cement during the suction and injection phases;
Low polymerization temperature to reduce the risk of thermal shock on the tissues.
