Abstract: A stimulator lead is herein disclosed. The stimulator lead includes a proximal portion that is configured for placement external the epidural space through a first opening, wherein said proximal portion is operatively connected to an IPG unit, a distal portion that is configured for placement external the epidural space through a second opening, and a third portion between the proximal and distal portions that is configured for percutaneous placement in an epidural space, wherein said middle portion includes at least one stimulator electrode for placement adjacent to target dura.

Abstract: A system and method for percutaneous loop kyphoplasty is described. An apparatus for the treatment of a targeted vertebral bone fracture includes a first trocar having a first lumen, a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the first trocar is configured for surgical insertion into a vertebral body at a first location, a second trocar having a second lumen, a proximal and a distal end, wherein the distal end of the second trocar is configured for surgical insertion into the vertebral body at a second location, a wire tool that is slidable within the first trocar, a grasper tool that is slidable within the second trocar and is configured to temporarily couple to the wire tool within the vertebral body, and a non-deployable balloon that is advanced through the first or second trocar into the vertebral body to facilitate expansion within the vertebral body.
