Abstract:
A medical device and method of using the device to reinforce and stabilize a compressed tissue is disclosed. The medical device is inserted into the tissue, typically a vertebral bone, cuts the tissue inside, and then a binding cement is injected into the pulped tissue without removing the tissue. The medical device is designed to disrupt and pulp the tissue without exerting a compressive force against the walls by using thin blades that buckle away from the core, and by rotating the blades while expanding/contracting the blades at the same time.
