Physician Education
Learn the demographics, diagnoses and most current clinical evidence regarding minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of pathologic vertebral fractures and spine tumor ablation. The course includes didactic presentations followed by hands-on training with anatomic spine models, as well as cadavers under the guidance of a C-arm.
Treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures
Vertebral Augmentation
Treating fractured vertebrae by creating preferential pathways for controlled delivery of bone cement.
Arcadia™ Next Generation Balloon Catheter
- Unique steerable technology offers bipedicular results via unipedicular approach
- Pressure rating of 700 psi
- Resheathing tool included to reduce obstruction during procedures and provide ease of access when needed
StabiliT® MX Vertebral Augmentation System
- Preferential pathways created by PowerCURVE® are designed to maximize cement interdigitation (optimized fill) while minimizing destruction of intact cancellous bone*
- High bone cement viscosity that is maintained throughout procedure with 35 minutes working time*
- Intuitive injection system provides controlled cement delivery for up to 2 feet away from the image intensifier
StabiliT® Vertebral Augmentation System
- Targeted approach and ultra-high viscosity cement to treat pathological fractures and minimize extravasation in the vertebrae
- PowerCURVE Osteotome minimizes the destruction of intact cancellous bone and maximizes interdigitation for optimally filled and mechanically sound vertebrae1
- The StabiliT system allows users to stand up to 20 feet away from x-ray sources and reduce radiation exposure
Osseoflex® SB Steerable and Straight Balloons
- The Osseoflex SB family of inflatable bone tamps for vertebral augmentation includes both steerable and straight balloons.
- The Osseoflex SB steerable balloon enables access to the entire vertebral body with unprecedented and true steerability, navigation, and precision
Osseoflex® SN Steerable Needle
- Osseoflex® SN steerable, articulating needles enable direct access to the entire vertebral body via a unipedicular approach for percutaneous vertebral augmentation
- Cavity creation is achieved through the disruption of bone by steering and articulating the Osseoflex SN to create a single channel or multiple channels and inject cement
Vertebroplasty
Controlled delivery of bone cement in the treatment of vertebral compression fractures.
StabiliT® Vertebral Augmentation System
- Simple cement preparation: no blending, shaking, squeezing, or stirring
- Mixing cartridge used for delivery; no need to transfer cement
- Up to 2X viscosity of standard PMMA cements and extended working time >30 minutes for procedural flexibility*
- Precise cement delivery and stoppage for predictable results
Treatment of Metastatic Spinal Tumors
Targeted radiofrequency ablation (t-RFA) expands the range of treatment options for patients with painful metastatic spinal tumors as it is compatible with systemic therapies.
The STAR™ Tumor Ablation System
- Rapid pain relief + localized tumor destruction
- Often perfromed in an out patient setting
