Concept
iKypho provides a safe and efficient way to inject bone cement in the vertebral compression fracture (VCF) surgery. The crux utilizes negative pressure suction to force or guide bone cement to flow within the vertebra body to minimize cement leakage and enhance the uniformity of filling, thus significantly reduces complications.
Osteoporosis is a susceptible disease in the elderlies. Its incidence rate is about 20%~25% for people over 65 years old, and about 50% for people over 85 years old. Its prevalence rate is only behind the cardiovascular disease. In the severe cases, the patient quality of life is significantly affected that they often cannot stand or sit and have to stay in bed all the time.
Comparison between PVP, PKP and iKypho
* Bone cement leakage rate
* High risk leakage rate
Using iKypho device to reduce bone cement leakage, which can greatly prevent the probability of complications, such as pulmonary embolism or paralysis (about 4‰)
* High risk leakage rate
