Cement injection device for Vertebroplasty

Telerobotic system allowing precise control of both cement viscosity and injection duration for vertebroplasty surgical procedures 

TECHNOLOGY

• Master-slave robotic system for cement injection
• Automatic viscosity control thoughout the procedure
• Fine adjustments of injection speed
• Haptic feedback
• Easy operation by physicians

APPLICATION

• Percutaneous vertebroplasty surgical procedures

ADVANTAGES

• Radiologist precisely controls injection speed with a finger
• Lessens risk of cement leakage outside vertebral body by quickly reaching minimum viscosity
• Physician removed from radiation field
• Delays cement hardening for longer injection time
