Bone cement injection instrument kit VERTOPLAST®

Percutaneous Vertebroplastic is an effective new interventional radiological method for bone pain relief and spinal stabilization which avoids complicate and expensive traditional reconstructive surgery whenever unnecessary. Method: Bone is punctured under radiological and/or computer tomographical control using a special application kit. Treatment is performed under local anaesthesia, often combined with neuroleptanalgesia. After placing the needle in the area of pathological fracture or bone tumor, a low-viscosity bone cement is injected through the needle under permanent x-ray control. The cement hardens in shortly giving the bone cement new stability. VERTOPLAST® Bone Cement Delivery System now offers leading technology to physicians with the first-ever reusable driver. VERTOPLAST® allows precise delivery of bone cement under active fl uoro while keeping hands well outside of the fluoro field.
