Cavity Creation Disposable Approach Kit
Paul Pavlov
The Cavity Creation System addresses the need to access the vertebral body transpedicularly and bilaterally. It is indicated for vertebral body compression fractures and features a disposable approach set and a reusable curette set. With these instruments, a cavity can be created that allows for a low-pressure delivery of filler material, reducing the risk of cement and marrow extravasation.
The Cavity Creation System requires fewer steps than existing systems when accessing a vertebral body. This reduces operative time and offers an easier procedure for the surgeon.
