Kyphoplasty systems
VertaPlex
A sterile substance intended to be used to replace cortical/cancellous bone in a vertebral body to stabilize vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) caused by cancer, osteoporosis, or trauma. The device may be a sterile powder of a synthetic polymer [e.g., polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)] that is mixed with its sterile diluent, or a non-PMMA-containing elastomer formed by mixing two precursors, prior to implantation typically during a balloon kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty procedure. This device does not contain an antibiotic agent. After application, this device cannot be reused.
