Kyphoplasty systems
Calibrate
A hand-held, surgical instrument designed to be used to manually pack tissue or other material during a surgical intervention. It typically consists of a shaft that terminates in a blunt (flat or profiled) tip at the distal end and a handle at the proximal end. It is typically a one-piece instrument made of metal, however some types may employ a synthetic material for the handle (e.g., Tufnol). The surgeon may pack the material by applying hand pressure to the device or by tapping the proximal end with a hammer/mallet. This is a reusable device.
