Kyphoplasty Technology Supplier UK
Lindare Medical is proud to supply Medtronic’s Kyphon™ Balloon Kyphoplasty Platform to NHS and Private Hospitals across the UK, designed to restore vertebral height and correct angular deformity from vertebral compression fractures due to ailments such as osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions.
Balloon Kyphoplasty Treatment
The specialty physician uses a needle and cannula to establish a small pathway into both sides of a fractured vertebral body via two small incisions, each around 1 cm long. A tiny balloon is inserted through each cannula into the vertebra, and with precision, each balloon is inflated to elevate the collapsed vertebra and restore it to its normal position. The inflation of the balloons generates a void or cavity within the vertebral body.
After positioning the vertebra correctly, the balloons are deflated and removed. The resulting cavities are then filled with bone cement, creating an “internal cast” that provides support to the surrounding bone and prevents further collapse.
The balloon kyphoplasty procedure typically lasts about one hour per fracture and can be conducted on an outpatient basis. The choice between local or general anaesthesia depends on the patient’s overall condition, and the specialty physician will determine the most suitable method.
Balloon Kyphoplasty Platform UK Supplier
Balloon kyphoplasty utilises orthopedic balloons to restore vertebral height and correct angular deformity resulting from vertebral compression fractures (VCF). Following the reduction process, the balloons are deflated and extracted. The resulting void allows for a controlled application of bone cement, creating an internal cast to stabilise the fracture.
Distinctive features of the Kyphon™ balloon kyphoplasty platform include a maximum rated inflation pressure of 700 psi (an improvement from the previous 400 psi rated balloons). The cement resistance technique enables the delivery of cement through one cannula while maintaining the inflation of the contralateral balloon to uphold fracture reduction. The Kyphon™ cement delivery system (CDS) facilitates cement delivery from a distance of up to 48 inches away from the radiation source during a kyphoplasty procedure.
