iVAS Elite balloon system
The iVAS Elite balloon system used during vertebral augmentation procedures utilizes a balloon catheter to create a void in the collapsed vertebra, which allows for controlled and contained cement delivery. The hardened cement creates an internal cast that stabilizes the fracture, thereby alleviating pain in approximately 90% of patients1
Features
Optimize performance with puncture resistance and maximum pressure rating
Confidently create the void you imagined. Optimized material compliance and balloon shape enable you to inflate with unmatched puncture capabilities and pressure you can control—up to 808psi2-4
The system of choice
Customize your procedure with the approach and gauge size you see fit. The iVAS Elite balloon system is available in 11g, 10g and 8g options.
Effortlessly efficient
Our user-centric features include an inflator with a weighted distal tip—for seamless contrast filling—and a locking coaxial cement tube that prevents backing out during injection.
An expanding portfolio
When partnered with products from our comprehensive vertebral compression fracture (VCF) portfolio, the iVAS Elite balloon system gives you total control over your procedural approach. Offered in 11g, 10g and 8g with bipedicular, unipedicular and à la carte packaging, we deliver the efficiency and performance you can trust.

Serious adverse events, some with fatal outcome, associated with the use of bone cements for vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty and sacroplasty include myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism and cardiac embolism. Although it is rare, some adverse events have been known to occur up to one year post-operatively. Additional risks exist with the use of bone cement. Please see the IFU for a complete list of potential risks.
