Vertebral Body Augmentation
Our comprehensive portfolio of vertebral augmentation solutions utilizes a minimally invasive approach to treat vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).
AFFIRM™ VCF System
Every VCF patient is unique. The AFFIRM™ VCF System allows VCF treatment to be customized based on the patient’s specific needs, from bone access through cement delivery. AFFIRM™ cannulas are designed to insert and dock easily, and to prevent adjacent level interference. AFFIRM™ also features a fully adjustable cavity creation tool that can create specialized cavities based on vertebral body size and fracture type. Engineered for both vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, AFFIRM™ is designed to be the only system needed to treat VCF patients.
Custom Cavity Creation
The fully adjustable AFFIRM™ Expanding Scraper and variety of bone tamps are designed to easily create specialized cavities based on vertebral body size and fracture.
Intelligent Cannula Design
AFFIRM™ cannulas feature winged handles for ease of removal and a streamlined approach.
An Array of Treatment Options
Choose from numerous options for access, cavity creation, and cement delivery to create a unique treatment plan for every patient.
