AVAflex balloon system
Confidence is close at hand with our AVAflex balloon system. Simplify your approach in treating vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) and achieve bipedicular results with a unipedicular approach.(1) AVAflex’s multiple balloon sizes and needle gauge options are designed to meet your preferences and patient needs.
A balloon that goes beyond
Create larger voids1 with a single incision. Practice a minimally invasive approach while potentially reducing the risk of patient trauma.
