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 method comprising:
- inserting, with a removable delivery instrument, a ballon implant in a deflated configuration within a vertebral body, the balloon implant having an inflatable kyphoplasty balloon coaxially mounted to a central implant shaft, the central implant shaft including a proximal end, a distal end, a balloon inflation port along a circumferential shaft surface, and a central conduit that extends from the proximal end to a bone filler output port at the distal end;
- inflating the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon implant to an inflated configuration with a balloon inflation medium through the balloon inflation port;
- delivering a bone filler material through the bone filler output port and along an exterior of the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon;
- and
- disconnecting the removable delivery instrument from the central implant shaft of the coaxial balloon implant with the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon in the inflated configuration with bone filler material along the exterior of the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon.

A kyphoplasty method comprising:
- inserting into a vertebral body a kyphoplasty implant in a deflated configuration, the kyphoplasty implant comprising:
- an implant shaft coaxial with an implant balloon device that is 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 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;
- delivering a balloon inflation medium through the radially facing port so that the implant balloon device of the kyphoplasty implant is adjusted to an inflated configuration;
- and
- after the implant balloon device of the kyphoplasty implant is adjusted to the inflated configuration, delivering a bone cement into the vertebral body and distally from the distal end of the implant shaft body along the exterior of the inflatable kyphoplasty balloon.
