Abstract
A kyphoplasty system includes various instruments which can be selectively used in a surgical theater (e.g., during a surgical operation on a patient) or a surgical training environment. The kyphoplasty system can include one or more of a kyphoplasty apparatus, a prone table mat, a connector system, a bone introducer needle, and a biopsy device. The kyphoplasty system may also include a training system for use in the training environment.
Claims20
A kyphoplasty apparatus comprising:
- a coaxial balloon implant having an inflatable kyphoplasty balloon coaxially mounted to a central implant shaft and being configured to fixedly implant within a vertebral body while the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon simultaneously engages with a balloon inflation medium along an interior of the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon and with a bone filler material along an exterior of the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon, wherein:
- the central implant shaft includes a proximal end, a distal end, a balloon inflation port along a circumferential shaft surface, a central conduit that extends from the proximal end to a bone filler output port at the distal end, and a detachment coupler at the proximal end configured to releasably mount with a removable delivery instrument;
- and
- the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon is coaxially mounted to an exterior of the central implant shaft at a fixed position so that that inflatable kyphoplasty balloon is distal of the detachment coupler and is proximal of the bone filler output port, wherein the central implant shaft extends entirely through the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon.
1 more element
A kyphoplasty apparatus comprising:
- a vertebral body implant including an implant shaft body extending entirely through, and coaxial with, an implant balloon device that is fixedly mounted to an exterior circumferential surface of the implant shaft body, wherein the implant shaft body has a proximal end, a distal end, a proximal detachment coupler, a central access conduit extending to a distal facing access port, and a radially facing port for balloon inflation positioned along an outer circumferential surface of the implant shaft body, wherein the implant balloon device is coaxially mounted to the implant shaft body so that the proximal detachment coupler of the implant shaft body is positioned proximally of the implant balloon device and the distal facing access port of the implant shaft body is positioned distally of the implant balloon device, wherein the implant balloon device is adjustable to an inflated configuration so that a balloon wall of the implant balloon device simultaneously engages a balloon inflation medium along an interior surface of the balloon wall and a bone cement along an exterior surface of the balloon wall.
