Renova Spine is a minimally invasive system for kyphoplasty procedure to treat fractures, restore vertebral body height and reduce back pain.
A vertebral compression fracture (VCF) occurs when the vertebral body fractures and collapses due to osteoporotic conditions, tumors (eg. myeloma) or trauma.
The principle of kyphoplasty is to restore vertebral body anatomy gently and progressively by inflating balloons and then reinforcing the anterior column of the vertebra with cement. The balloons create a cavity within the vertebral body, compressing the cancellous bone and thus limiting the risk of cement leakage from the vertebral body.
The balloon catheter is then deflated and the cavity created is now filled with bone cement avoiding any leakage.
