AVAmax vertebral balloon
Optimize visualization during procedure
Each AVAmax vertebral balloon catheter contains a durable balloon that is
filled with a contrast agent to aid with visualization when creating a void in
the vertebral body.
Ensure proper balloon placement
The AVAmax balloon catheter features clearly defined marker bands on the
shaft to help you identify proper advancement and placement of the balloon
while in the access cannula and in the vertebral body.
Monitor pressure levels
A digital pressure monitor is conveniently located at the tip of the inflation
syringe to help you monitor pressure levels. At the touch of a button, you
can choose to view the balloon pressure in either Atmospheres or PSI.
Minimize waste
Balloon access kits and inflation syringes are packaged single-sterile,
minimizing waste and improving operational efficiency.
AVAmax 11G vertebral balloon—today’s most minimally invasive
kyphoplasty balloon
The AVAmax 11G vertebral balloon fits through a cannula that is 17%
smaller than a 10G cannula, yet it is just as effective, making it the most
minimally invasive vertebral balloon on the market today. This allows you
to perform kyphoplasty in areas where a larger balloon might prohibit
the procedure.
