  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERYING AN AGGLOMERATION OF SOLID BEADS AND CEMENT TO THE INTERIOR OF A BONE IN ORDER TO FORM AN IMPLANT WITHIN THE BONE
    Publication number: 20080009792
    Abstract: A system for forming an implant to stabilize an interior of a vertebral body is provided. The system includes a delivery cannula (18) in which there is an agglomeration of beads (20) and cement (22). A membrane is disposed over the open end of the cannula. When the agglomeration is discharged from the cannula it fills the membrane. The membrane thus forms the outer shell of the implant internal to the bone.
