Features

Get to know the Kyphon Assist™ directional cannula.

Kyphon Assist™ can increase the directional height of an inflatable bone tamp (IBT) by 37% when compared to IBTs used with standard access cannulas for more height restoration potential, and can redirect 76% of the IBT volume† in the intended direction.1

Kyphon Assist™ can be used with any size IBT,† allowing flexibility for procedural goals and anatomic considerations.
