Remote Controlled Injection Manipulator for minimizing the radiation exposure of x-rays to the surgeon

With the population aging problem in modern society, the incidence of Osteoporosis tend to ascend, thus the occurrence of vertebral compression fracture is increasing year by year. Osteoporotic fracture has become a public health problem that should be solved quickly. Vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty is surely the first choice treatment for the disease. In vertebroplasty, physicians use image guidance to inject a cement mixture into the fractured bone through a hollow needle. In kyphohplasty, a balloon is first inserted into the fractured bone through the hollow needle to create a cavity or space. The cement is injected into the cavity once the balloon is removed. In the process of surgery, it takes the doctor 3 to 5 minutes or even longer to monitor the condition when inject the contrast medium into the balloon and inject the bone cement into the vertebra body. The radiation can cause the damage to the operator, which is a factor that can' t be ignored to handicap the promotion of the technology . Based on our years experience in promotion of clinical application of vertebroplasty technology, we have designed a remote controlled device which can be operated in the control room or behind the protective glass to inject the contrast medium into the balloon and inject the bone cement into the vertebra body. It will protect the operator from the risk of radiation.

● A patent device based on our decades of experience in MISS field;

● For injecting bone cement and contrast medium in PVP and PKP surgery;

● Less radiation exposure, more operation safety;

● Accurate, safe, reliable, easy handling.
