Minimally Invasive Vertebral Compression Fracture (VCF) Treatment
The Kyphon™ V Premium vertebroplasty platform is designed to facilitate maximum precision of high viscosity cement placement with minimal radiation exposure.1-4 Maximum Precision, Minimum Exposure With the Kyphon™ cement delivery system, the Kyphon V™ premium vertebroplasty system allows you to:1-3- Minimize radiation exposure2 by standing up to four feet away from the radiation source, which has been measured to reduce hand radiation exposure by 70% (compared to Kyphon™ bone filler device when measured with dosimeters under fluoroscopy)*
- Stop cement flow instantly3 by pushing the quick release button to minimize the potential for cement extravasation
* The mean radiation reduction at the hands was 77.79% (p<0.001). Based on an internal testing of 24 total cadaveric procedures (n=12 using Kyphon CDS and n=12 using Kyphon Bone Filler Device). Dosimeters were placed on the wrist and fingers to measure radiation when delivering bone cement into the vertebral body. Radiation result reported is based on adherence to the Directions for Use.
