Control throughviscosity Controlled Fill Cement Interdigitation Low viscosity cement Trabecular structure CONFIDENCE High Viscosity Cement CONFIDENCE High Viscosity Cement The proprietary CONFIDENCE Spinal Cement is designed to provide a controlled, more even fill than that of a low viscosity cement. 1 The high viscosity properties of the CONFIDENCE Cement is designed to allow for interdigitation, preserving the remaining trabecular structure of the vertebral body. High Viscosity Without the Wait The CONFIDENCE High Viscosity Spinal Cement provides immediate post mixing high viscosity with optimal working time when compared to a major competitor.

Control throughdelivery Hydraulic based delivery system allows for a controlled flow of highly viscous cement through a small gauge introducer needle. Rotational quick connect for optimal adjustability Ergonomic hand operated pump delivers a controlled amount of cement (.318cc per full turn) Water activates piston to begin a controlled flow of cement Transparent cement with volumetric reference markings Pump is pre-filled with sterile water Secure luer lock connection Long flexible tube reduces physician radiation exposure Side hole needle allows directional placement of cement. Introducer needle has multiple tip, gauge and length configurations Low pressure at the needle tip
Control through Simplicity Novel mixing and transfer tools allow for simple streamlined set up. Seamless mixing and transfer in one bowl Contained cement transfer designed to limit vapors 40-60 seconds of mixing achieves optimal viscosity Simple one step transfer of cement into reservoir Transfer mechanism auto fills reservoir
A Novel Treatment for Vertebral Compression Fractures www.confidencespinalcement.com
INDICATIONS The CONFIDENCE SPINAL CEMENT SYSTEM is intended for percutaneous delivery of CONFIDENCE Spinal Cements, which are indicated for fixation of pathological fractures of the vertebral body during vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures. Painful vertebral compression fractures may result from osteoporosis, benign lesions (hemangioma), and malignant lesions (metastatic cancer, myeloma). CONTRAINDICATIONS The use of CONFIDENCE High Viscosity Spinal Cement is contraindicated in patients presenting with any of the following conditions: Use of CONFIDENCE High Viscosity Spinal Cement for prophylaxis (such as in metastatic or osteoporotic patients with no evidence of acute vertebral fracture) Coagulation disorders, or severe cardiopulmonary disease. Haemorrhagic diasthesis. Non-pathological, acute, traumatic fractures of the vertebra. Patient clearly improving on medical therapy. Spinal stenosis (> 20% by retropulsed fragments). Compromise of the vertebral body or walls of the pedicles. Compromise or instability of vertebral fractures due to posterior involvement. Anatomical damage of the vertebra that prevents safe access of the needle to the vertebral body. Vertebral body collapse to less than 1/3 (33%) original height. Vertebral plana (collapse >90%) Active or incompletely treated infection. Coagulopathy or inability to reverse anti-coagulant therapy (both during and approximately 24 hours post-procedure). Severe pulmonary insufficiency. Allergic reaction to any of the components of the CONFIDENCE High Viscosity Spinal Cement..
