17 New Technologies: Novel Vertebroplasty Materials

18 CERAMENT™ Bi-Phasic Ceramic Bone Substitute:- Enhances the bulk of cancellous bone:- - Biologically - Biomechanically

19 Bio-Material Characteristics 60 wt % α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaS) 40 wt % hydroxyapatite (HA)  High injectability allows for minimal invasive delivery and ensures good intraosseal spread Iohexol-based radio-opacity enhancing component (liquid)  Makes the material visible under fluoroscopy Short term strength Resorbable during 6- 12 months CaS Long term support Highly osteoconductive HA

20 CERAMENT™ U.S.A. Pilot Results 90% of 20 patients treated have complete pain relief Pain improved from VAS 8.5 av. pre-op to 1.8 av. at one week 17 patients at 6 months with av. VAS of 1.2 16 patients at 12 months with av. VAS of 0.6 One adjacent level fractures to date 11 months post-surgery

21 At 12 weeks, there is extensive new bone formation, cement resorption, and cement incorporation in the bi-phasic ceramic-filled defect CRITICAL DEFECT IN RABBIT Empty Bi-Phasic Ceramic C C nB

22 Progression of Resorption of Cerament™ and Bone Incorporation beyond 1 year Axial CT Scan, L1: Day 1 Axial CT Scan, L1: 13 Months

23 Professional Bowler: Levels L3 & L4 Treated Post Operative CT Scan Pre Operative MRI Returns to Professional Bowling in Las Vegas Tournament 14 days Post Cerament™ Vertebroplasty.
