AVAmax Advanced Vertebral Augmentation System

System features a standard, fully integrated procedure tray plus a variety of handle/stylet kits (sold separately), providing custom components to suit your specific clinical needs. Add extra levels easily with the optional extra level tray. The AVAflex® curved injection needle is part of the AVAmax® advanced vertebral augmentation system. The AVAflex® needle is made from nitinol─ a unique, super-elastic composite made from nickel and titanium, often used for interventional devices such as flexible stents. Avatex® Radiopaque Bone Cement from CareFusion is designed specifically to facilitate the tracking of bone cement placement and flow under fluoroscopy during the repair of spinal fractures. It is engineered to have a long working time, allowing for enhanced procedural flexibility. The long working time also helps users avoid the need to mix additional cement due to premature setting. Once in the body, however, the AVAtex® radiopaque bone cement sets quickly, so patient mobility is not compromised.
