According to Sjors Hermans, global sales director of Safe Orthopaedics, “The SteriSpine VA is one of the two first systems in the market to offer a high quality, high pressure balloon of 700 PSI. Safe Orthopaedics is now the only one in the world to propose a full ready to use spinal treatment for the vertebral fracture.”
“This particular cement injection method, performed with a balloon, allows Safe Orthopaedics to provide a complete emergency fracture treatment package to push the penetration of its products towards the surgeons and strengthen its gross margin.”
Pierre Dumouchel told OTW, “With the commercial launch of SteriSpine VA, Safe Orthopaedics is now the only company in the world to offer surgeons a comprehensive portfolio of ready to use spinal fracture treatment options: a balloon and cement systems for restoring the vertebral body and a complete range of implants for stabilizing the spinal segment post-fracture.”
“The SteriSpine VA balloon is a high pressure, high quality balloon that can be inflated up to 700 PSI – the majority of the systems in the market today allow between 300 and 400 PSI. It comes in different sizes to accommodate all different kinds of patient anatomy.”

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?
Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.
We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
