Negative Pressure-Guided Bone Cement Injection System

Chu Woei-chyn, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University
Year 2019Year Period:2019-12-01 to

Overview

  • When it comes to percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), there is a 30-67% incidence rate of bone cement leakage in the wake of the procedure. Damage to nerves and blood vessels is also a possible complication.
  • The team has thus developed a negative pressure-guided approach to regulate the speed of cement bone injection, ensure a safe procedure, and mitigate the incidence of leakage.
  • Better regulate the pace of bone cement injection and minimize its overflowing over the course of a PVP procedure.

Development Process

Over the course of this project under the Applied Research Incubation Program, the team completed electrical safety testing for the negative pressure-guided system; software validation; tests on low-viscosity bone cement’s physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, biocompatibility, sterility, and life span; patent feasibility evaluation. Planning for animal tests and preparations for a pre-submission to the FDA are now under way.
