The device was designed to improve pre-determined inflation patterns and exert greater lifting force than the first generation of the device. The Kyphon Xpander II allows the physician to maintain inflation of one IBT while delivering polymethylmethacrylate bone cement on the contralateral side of the vertebrae.
The product is available in the U.S. market and is expected to be available internationally in 2011.
