The Blazer-C Vertebral Augmentation System is a device used in minimally invasive vertebral augmentation procedures that can be performed in a spine specialist’s office or in a hospital setting.
The Blazer-C System is indicated for the treatment of pathological compression fractures of the vertebral body that result from osteoporosis, benign lesions, or malignant lesions, by creating channels in the existing spinal bone structure for the flow of bone cement.
Blazer-C is a minimally invasive treatment option you can use in the treatment of pathological compression fractures resulting from osteoporosis, benign lesions, or malignant lesions. The procedure usually takes less than an hour per fracture and works under local or general anesthesia so you can use Blazer-C either in your spine specialty office or in a hospital setting.
How Blazer-C Works
Blazer’s Nitinol wire allows you to create a path through the vertebral body bone and provides a cavity for the bone cement. Once the cavity is created, Blazer gives you directional control and provides a predictable cement deposit through cannulated wire.
