Needle spine augmentation system Kiva®

balloon catheterdrillpercutaneous kyphoplasty

The Kiva System is a novel implant-based solution for vertebral augmentation and a departure from balloon kyphoplasty, making it the first new approach to the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in over a decade. In three Level I/II clinical studies, the Kiva System was shown to meet or exceed the performance of ballon kyphoplasty. For the first time, Kiva allows a treating physician to deliver (through a transpedicular approach) an implant with a predictable structure. The implant also functions as a reservoir to contain and direct the flow of cement. It is indicated for use in the reduction and treatment of spinal fractures in the thoracic and/or lumbar spine from T6-L5*. It is intended to be used in combination with the IZI Vertebral Augmentation Cement Kit. If you’re searching for a different treatment for vertebral compression fractures, be sure to take a look at the KIVA® VCF Treatment System. Kiva has met or exceeded the performance of balloon kyphoplasty in 3 separate comparative studies. In one or more of these studies, Kiva was shown to: Reduce rate of adjacent level fracture Improve kyphotic angle restoration Reduce rate of cement extravasation Reduce cement volume The KIVA System is the first new approach to treating vertebral compression fractures (VCF’s) in over a decade.
