Osteoporosis and metastasis may weaken the vertebrae to such a point that they fracture by effect of the compression generated by normal everyday activities. This would cause pain and difficulty of movement in the patients.
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, aimed to improve the patient’s movement capability treating the symptomatic pain and reducing the risk of new fractures, whereby the vertebra is reinforced and stabilized by direct injection of bone cement under fluoroscopic guidance.
V-ACCESS NEEDLES FOR VERTEBROPLASTY
The V-Access Vertebroplasty needle has been developed to perform percutaneous vertebroplasty procedures, which ease the access to the vertebral body thanks to the double sharpening design of the tip. V-Access needles are available in two different models, which are characterized by different tips:
- the bevel tip needles allow to direct cement flow during injection in combination with the tip design and the indicator on the handpiece;
- diamond tip V-Accesses have been developed to perform pedicular access and percutaneous positioning.
