The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given clearance to Ascendx Spine to market its Acu-Cut vertebral augmentation system for treatment of vertebral compression fractures.
Acu-Cut is a uni-pedicular vertebral augmentation system that creates a cavity for precise cement placement. While traditional technologies require passing next to both sides of the spinal cord to reach the entire vertebral body, the Acu-Cut vertebral augmentation system is designed to achieve this through single-sided access.
