Kiva® VCF Treatment System

The Kiva System is a novel implant-based solution for vertebral augmentation and a departure from balloon kyphoplasty, making it the first new approach to the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in over a decade. In three Level I/II clinical studies, the Kiva System was shown to meet or exceed the performance of ballon kyphoplasty.

Indicator® Radiopaque Markers - CT and X-Ray

Our Indicator® Radiopaque Markers can be used in a variety of imaging procedures to identify any point of interest. Users appreciate their ability to provide a clear, accurate reference point that is free of spray artifacts. The flat design prevents tissue indentation and the clear, adhesive backing aids in precise marker placement. In addition to enhancing accuracy, they promote procedural efficiency with double pull tabs that permit easy application and removal. IZI also now offers a raised BB marker.

Osteo-Site Vertebral Balloon

Osteo-site® Vertebral Balloon uses a balloon catheter to create cavity, restore vertebral height and correct angular deformity from vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) due to osteoporosis, cancer, or benign lesion. After the void is created, the balloons are deflated and removed. The resulting cavity allows for a controlled deposition of IZI’s bone cement — which helps form an internal cast and stabilize the fracture.
