With over 20 years of commitment to procedural options and clinical evidence, Medtronic's balloon kyphoplasty empowers you to treat VCF patients with the unmatched innovations of a reliable, robust product platform.
EXPLORE THE PROCEDUREBalloon kyphoplasty uses orthopedic balloons to restore vertebral height and correct angular deformity from VCF due to osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions. After reduction, the balloons are deflated and removed. The resulting cavity allows for a controlled deposition of bone cement to form an internal cast and stabilize the fracture.
See what happens during the Kyphon™ balloon kyphoplasty procedure (3:15).
Kyphon™ balloon kyphoplasty is used to treat pathological fractures of the vertebral body due to osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesions. Cancer includes multiple myeloma and metastatic lesions, including those arising from breast or lung cancer, or lymphoma. Benign lesions include hemangioma and giant cell tumor.
Kyphon™ vertebral body access tools and inflatable bone tamps (IBT) are available in a variety of sizes, lengths, volumes, and tip types allowing you to customize based on the needs of your patients.

Three cement options along with optional accessories are available to meet your procedural needs. Using Kyphon™ bone cement with the Kyphon™ cement delivery system (CDS) allows for the delivery of highly viscous bone cement from up to 48” away from the radiation source while still maintaining tactile feel.
