Vertebral biopsy devices: option 1 & 2

Coaxial devices designed for a vertebral biopsy in conjunction with a channel created by tools for kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty.

Designed to fit seamlessly within the channel created by kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty tools;
Smooth insertion to avoid damage to the surrounding bone structure;
Single-use disposable design for sterility and ease of use;
Clear depth marker along the needle to guide the clinician;
Radio-opaque markers for clear visualization during fluoroscopic or X-ray guidance.

Percutaneous biopsy is a safe and effective technique for the evaluation of spinal lesions. It can be performed during a Kyphoplasty or Vertebroplasty procedure with a single transpedicular passage using the coaxial technique, with little patient discomfort and improved safety.

VERTEBROSTEEL™, VERTEBROPLASTIC™, RENOVA SPINE™ 11G and RENOVA SPINE™ 8G kyphoplasty systems can be used as introducer needles for the transpedicular access; through their cannulas with a coaxial technique, it is possible to put a biopsy needle and thereafter perform a VTP/KYP with the cement.

VERTEBRAL BIOPSY OPTION 1 -> For KYPHOPLASTY procedure

Surgical technique:

Create a working channel using RENOVA SPINE™ kyphoplasty tools.
Insert the biopsy needle through the working channel.
Once the target site is reached, attach a syringe to the Luer-lock connector and aspirate the sample.
Remove the system from the patient, then use the extractor to deposit the sample onto a slide.

VERTEBRAL BIOPSY OPTION 2 -> For KYPHOPLASTY & VERTEBROPLASTY procedures

Surgical technique:

Create a working channel using the kyphoplasty or vertebroplasty tools.
Insert the biopsy needle (consisting of an external cannula and an internal stylet with a cutting wire) into the working channel, ensuring it extends 2 cm beyond its tip.
Rotate the entire VERTEBRAL BIOPSY NEEDLE 360° twice to cut the tissue sample internally without dislocating or damaging it.
Remove the system from the working channel.
Extract the internal stylet with the cutting wire, and use the finger protection device and extractor from the opposite side of the handle to deposit the sample onto a slide.
