Components of the Kyphon Balloon Kyphoplasty system include:

Use of bilateral balloon kyphoplasty increases the lift force with less exerted stress on the in vitro model endplate vs. unilateral balloon kyphoplasty based on an engineering test environment that measured balloon lift force, balloon contact area and balloon exerted stress.  

Results indicated that the unilateral and bilateral approaches to balloon kyphoplasty are statistically significant in all features assessed.  The bilateral approach yielded a lift force that was 105% greater than the unilateral approach (102.66lbf v. 49.99lbf, respectively).  The bilateral approach had a contact area that was 279% compared to the unilateral approach (1.34in2 v. 0.48in2, respectively).  The exerted stress for the bilateral approach was 26% ...
