Vertebroplasty needle - Plastic Handle

VERTEBROPLASTIC™ needle is used in Vertebroplasty procedures to inject cement into the vertebral body.

Easy handling thanks to the enhanced design of the plastic handle;
Ergonomic grip with locking system;
Tip direction indicator;
AISI 304 Stainless steel cannula and stylet;
Bevel or trocar tip;
A coaxial biopsy can also be performed using our Vertebral Biopsy device.

Vertebral compression fracture (VCF) refers to a break in any of the bones (vertebrae) of the spinal column. It usually occurs when the front of the vertebral body collapses and may be caused by:

OSTEOPOROSIS: painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures without posterior wall involvement;
TRAUMA: painful vertebral compression fractures;
CANCER: treatment of osteolytic lesions located within the vertebral body with intact cortical shell.

If conservative treatment is not enough, a cement augmentation procedure could be an effective treatment, reducing the risk of subsequent fractures.

Vertebroplasty is a very well established technique for treating back pain caused by severe osteoporosis or tumours with consequent loss of height or fracture of the vertebral body.

Surgical technique:

Under fluoroscopic guidance, identify the entry point and advance the needle through soft tissue until it touches the vertebral bone surface.
Apply controlled pressure and rotational movements to penetrate the bone, adjusting the needle’s direction under AP and lateral fluoroscopic control.
Ensure the needle tip reaches the medial edge of the pedicle, checking depth and positioning continuously.
Under lateral fluoroscopic view, advance the cannula tip to the anterior half of the vertebral body, ensuring correct placement before PMMA injection. Advance the tip of the cannula until it reaches the anterior half of the vertebral body.
Prepare the bone cement with the CEMIX™ cement mixer.
Inject the cement connecting the EASYNJECT™ cement delivery system to the VERTEBROPLASTIC™ device.
