VertePort cement cannula
The VertePort cement cannula is a coaxial, hollow-needle system developed specifically for vertebral augmentation. The system offers multiple ways to deliver bone cement during vertebral augmentation procedures. By providing continuous access to the vertebral body, the VertePort cannula allows increased control while delivering cement with the use of a traditional injector. If used to hand obturate cement delivery, it allows an opportunity for the delivery of thicker cement and increased working time.
Features
- Available in 8, 10, and 11 gauges
- Maximizes flexibility during vertebral augmentation procedure
- Provides constant unobstructed access to the vertebral body
- Allows easy delivery of high-viscosity cement
- Designed for precise control
- Ability to deliver cement through hand obturation and/ or injector
- Allows an opportunity for extended working time with the use of hand obturation
Warnings/ adverse events: 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.
