Tampa, Fla.-based PanMed U.S. unveiled its CurvePlus kyphoplasty device.
Here are six highlights:
1. While leveraging curved technique for treating vertebral compression fractures is no longer revolutionary, CurvePlus is designed to offer the simplest, quickest and most complete curved kyphoplasty operation.
2. CurvePlus features a 10G single curved needle that paves a path for the balloon, deploys the balloon and delivers the cement.
3. The 13G balloon passes through the needle to find the ideal position.
4. The balloon inflates, deflates and is removed.
5. The needle remains in position as the surgeon delivers the cement.
6. PanMed U.S. develops spine and VCF technology, previously launching its 13G Balloon Kyphoplasty catheter in 2016.
