Spine surgery bone cement OSTEOPAL® V

Product overview
OSTEOPAL® V is a low‑viscosity PMMA bone cement intended for augmentation and stabilisation of vertebral bodies in percutaneous vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty. The formulation provides controlled delivery and high radiopacity to support intraoperative imaging.

Key features

• Designed for spinal surgery (vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty)
• Low‑viscosity PMMA cement suitable for percutaneous application
• High content of zirconium dioxide as radiopacifier for improved imaging visibility
• Coloured with chlorophyll‑copper‑complex (E141) for visual identification

Indications

• Augmentation and stabilisation of vertebral bodies in percutaneous vertebroplasty and balloon kyphoplasty
• Compression fractures of the vertebral body
• Vertebral body tumours (metastases, myeloma)
• Symptomatic vertebral hemangioma

Clinical note
Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are palliative procedures intended to stabilise the vertebral body and alleviate symptoms; they do not treat underlying diseases such as osteoporosis or malignancy.
