RF Kyphoplasty
With the StabiliT™ Vertebral Augmentation System

Also known as Radiofrequency Kyphoplasty; it represents an evolutionary advancement over conventional kyphoplasty offering physicians and patients the potential for improved safety and outcomes. 

 

PROCEDURE

 

1
The navigational MidLine Osteotome creates a site and size specific cavity in the vertebra 
Ultra high viscosity StabiliT™ ER2 Bone Cement preferentially fills the Osteotome created cavity      
The cement viscosity drives controlled interdigitation and potential height restoration of the fracture while minimizing potential cement extravasation

 

BENEFITS

StabiliT™ ER2 Bone Cement when pulsed with RF Energy reaches an ultra high viscosity 4-10 greater than other bone cements on the market.

The Hand Switch Cable allows for controlled cement delivery up to 10 feet away from the radiation source. 


Reduces potential radiation exposure to physician during cement delivery
