For the application of the PMMA bone cement into the vertebral body during a vertebroplasty procedure several accessories are used e.g. injection systems/syringes. After mixing of the PMMA bone cement components the PMMA bone cement is transferred out of the mixing system into injection systems or syringes. After filling of the injection systems/syringes the PMMA bone cement is injected over cannulas into the vertebral body to be treated. The PMMA bone cement will be hard in just minutes – see handling chart of the PMMA bone cement.
Vertebroplasty is little stressful and elderly patients can be treated outpatient with local anesthesia. The treatment of several vertebral bodies is possible with one surgical procedure.
