Cortoss Bone Augmentation Material
Category: Vertebral Compression Fractures

We developed Cortoss Material to provide an ideal bone augmentation solution for treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCFs).

Description

Cortoss is an advanced, injectable, synthetic, non-resorbable biomaterial which mimics the mechanical properties of cortical (weightbearing) bone1. It has been clinically proven to match the safety and effectiveness of Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for vertebral augmentation.2

  • Flow and fill: properties improve short-term pain and long-term function2
  • Safety: low incidence of adjacent fractures2; minimal exotherm3 and monomer release4
  • Control: procedural flexibility with mix-on-demand and start/stop delivery5
  • Robust compilation of clinical data2,6,7

Warning/adverse events

Serious adverse events, some with fatal outcome, associated with the use of bone cements for vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty and sacroplasty include myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest, cerebrovascular accident, pulmonary embolism, and cardiac embolism. Although it is rare, some adverse events have been known to occur up to one year post-operatively. Additional risks exist with the use of bone cement. Please see the IFU for a complete list of potential risks.
