Blazer™ Vertebral Augmentation System

The Blazer Vertebral Augmentation System provides an innovative approach to the treatment of painful VCFs.  It preserves cancellous bone architecture by using a percutaneously-introduced nitinol wire designed to create channels within the vertebral body.  The channels created in the bone are intended to direct the flow of PMMA bone cement in an anterior fashion and away from the posterior cortex.   Blazer enables bone cement to interdigitate into the cancellous bone and stabilize the fracture.

Blazer is indicated for the treatment of pathological compression fractures of the vertebral body that result from osteoporosis, benign lesions, or malignant lesions, by creating channels in the existing spinal bone structure for the flow of polymethylmethacrylate bone cement (PMMA).

The Blazer Vertebral Augmentation System is available for sale in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
