Icotec’s Vader Pedicle System is made to restore the integrity of the spinal column, even in the absence of fusion in patients with tumors involving the thoracic or lumbar spine, the release said. G-21’s bone cements are formulated to be delivered via vertebral augmentations.

Together, the cements can increase stability in patients with compromised bone quality, the release said.

“The G-21 bone cements are a perfect complement to icotec’s fast growing portfolio of spinal implants made from our proprietary radiolucent, nonmetallic BlackArmor material that produces minimal image artifact while eliminating shielding and scattering of radiation during oncology treatments,” icotec CEO Roger Stadler said in the release.
