Spine surgery bone cement TECULON™ LV

Product Overview

• Spinal bone cement designed for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) and osteoporosis; compatible with PVP (percutaneous vertebroplasty) and PKP (percutaneous kyphoplasty).
• Compared with similar products, offers longer working time to provide surgeons extended operational flexibility.

Advantages

• High visibility under imaging with clear radiographic development and excellent fatigue resistance, capable of withstanding dynamic loads.
• Excellent biocompatibility: material remains stable in the body without degradation or absorption.
• Chemically stable composition with superior mechanical properties.

Indications

• Compression fractures of the vertebral body
• Vertebral body tumours (metastases and myelomas)
• Symptomatic vertebral hemangioma
