Size: 15mm , 20mm
A kyphoplasty balloon catheter is a single-use, specialized device used in the minimally invasive balloon kyphoplasty procedure to treat vertebral compression fractures. It is inserted into the fractured vertebral body, then carefully inflated to restore height and create a cavity. After deflation and removal of the balloon catheter, the cavity is filled with bone cement, which acts as an internal cast to stabilize the vertebra.
Purpose and Function:
Fracture Reduction:
The primary purpose of the balloon is to lift and reduce the collapsed fractured vertebra, restoring some or all of its normal shape and height.
Cavity Creation:
Inflating the balloon compresses the spongy bone within the vertebra, creating a void or cavity.
Stabilization:
The cavity is then filled with orthopedic bone cement, which hardens to provide internal stabilization and a long-term solution to the fracture.
Procedure Overview
1. Access:
A trained spine specialist creates a narrow pathway into the fractured vertebra.
2. Insertion:
The kyphoplasty balloon catheter is inserted through this pathway into the vertebral body.
3. Inflation:
The balloon is carefully inflated with a substance like air or saline to compress the bone and regain vertebral height.
4. Deflation & Cementation:
The balloon is deflated and removed, leaving a cavity that is immediately filled with bone cement to stabilize the fracture.
Key Characteristics
Radiopaque Markers:
The catheter typically has radiopaque markers to allow for easy visualization under fluoroscopy during placement and inflation.
Coaxial Lumen:
It is a coaxial lumen catheter, meaning it has a single, long, tube-like structure with a balloon at its tip.
Single-Use:
The device is designed for single use and is sterilely packaged to prevent infection.
Materials:
Balloon materials are chosen for their biocompatibility, supportiveness, and resistance to biodegradation.
