Bone Cement Injection Instrument Kit

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.
