SPINAL AUGMENTATION
A minimally invasive procedure in which cement, designed for use in bones, is injected into the vertebral column. The cement functions as a sort of internal cast, providing pain relief and stabilizing the affected area of the spine. Merit’s steerable solutions provide physicians with the ability to gain a bipedicular footprint via a unipedicular approach.
Arcadia™ Next Generation Balloon Catheter
Steerable & Straight Balloon-Assisted Vertebral Augmentation
Designed to achieve controlled, precise, targeted cavity creation in your vertebral augmentation procedures, whether the approach is unipedicular or bipedicular.
StabiliT® VP Vertebroplasty System
Simplicity – Speed – Control
Combines Merit’s patented simple cement preparation with the controlled delivery of high-viscosity cement.
StabiliT® MX Vertebral Augmentation System
Steerability – Dexterity – Control
Create preferential paths for the controlled delivery of high-viscosity cement in various fracture morphologies.
Osseoflex® SB Steerable and Straight Balloons
Inflatable Bone Tamps
Utilizes either a unipedicular or bipedicular approach to create a cavity by compacting cancellous bone for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).
ADVANCED ENERGY
Targeted radiofrequency ablation (t-RFA) expands the range of treatment options for patients with painful metastatic spinal tumors as it is compatible with systemic therapies.
STAR™ Tumor Ablation System
Delivers meaningful pain relief and localized tumor destruction in a single treatment with targeted RadioFrequency Ablation (t-RFA).
StabiliT® Vertebral Augmentation System
Combines a targeted approach and ultra-high viscosity cement to treat pathological fractures and minimize extravasation in the vertebrae.
BONE BIOPSY
Procedure in which bone samples from the outer layer of bone are removed (with a special biopsy needle or during surgery) to find out if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.
