No two fractures are alike. Providing a choice in technology for the treatment of vertebral compression fractures is essential. SHIELD™'s Barrier Technology™ provides ultimate cement control by directing cement to the central/anterior vertebral body. The unilateral, curving design of the SHIELD™ system aims to offer the ultimate in safety, reliability and treatment selection. • Barrier Technology™: The first of its kind providing the ultimate in cement control, SHIELD™ directs cement to the central/anterior vertebral body, creating an optimized cement column. • Unipedicular Approach: SHIELD™'s unipedicular approach may help reduce the risks associated with vertebral body access and radiation exposure. • Curved Cavity Creation: Curved instruments prepare a pathway across the sagittal midline into the contralateral side, enabling full vertebral body coverage.
