System for Vertebral Compression
An alternative to traditional kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty is the minimally invasive StaXx Structural Kyphoplasty System. The system can be used for vertebral compression fractures resulting from trauma, osteoporosis, and cancer.
The system allows for a unilateral extrapedicular approach that fosters improved control over fracture reduction and precision up to 1mm. The system design helps ensure the height of the vertebral body being corrected.
