Abstract:
A medical device and method of using the device to reinforce and stabilize a compressed tissue is disclosed. The medical device comprises a shaft with a single blade that is biased with a bend, but is elastic enough to be straightened. The end of a cannula is inserted into a tissue, and the blade and shaft are then inserted into a cannula to straightens the blade and direct it to the tissue site. When the blade reaches the tissue site, the blade naturally returns to its bent biased state, and the shaft and blade are then rotated to pulp a volume of tissue. A binding material is then injected into the pulped tissue without removing the tissue.
