The device is specifically for void creation in a vertebral body, followed by injection of bone cement. Vertebral augmentation, also known as vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty, is commonly used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures. This second-generation device allows surgeons to operate in tight spaces and to provide additional tactile and audible feedback to improve ease of use during the void creation process.
