The Shield Kyphoplasty System is advancing procedural control during vertebral augmentation. With the unipedicular, curving cavity creation system, and a one of its kind cement directing implant, the Shield Kyphoplasty System is designed to give the physician control of cement placement. With engineered strategic flow openings, the Shield Implant provides bilateral cement placement in the anterior 2/3 of the vertebral body, while reducing the amount of cement flow to the posterior.
