So

IZI ~1k

Would you mind posting that on the new thread I just started on the private forum and please include how good these cheaper kits are to use?

 

[RoloTomassi]

Not on that forum but I have never had issues with IZI. Straight trocars and balloons aren't all that different between companies in my opinion. Cement is more variable and IZI high viscosity is nice. Price is nice.

I didn’t realize you didn’t have access to private forum. You should get it.

Appreciate the rec re IZI. I haven’t heard of them before.

FWIW Beall said this. Could be a paid endorsement, who knows.

“Vertefix HV will help you control your cement and allow you to have excellent cement viscosity immediately after mixing. It has an optimal volume of cement with good working time and viscosity, along with great visualization so you can see when the cement is flowing and where it is going. The Insite beads are a great addition and now novel to all of the cements on the market. Bottom line is, it's the best cement I've used since I can remember,” said Dr. Douglas Beall, Chief of Services and Interventional Spine Services, Comprehensive Specialty Care, Edmond, Oklahoma.

I watched their YouTube video on it. Actually looks like something I would want to try.

Q: does izi have a cement delivery gun with decent length extension tubing? Or they only use the bone filler cannula for cement injection?

Both. Not really a gun but a twist to inject.

Found this. It looks really annoying to use as compared to strykers automatic or even Medtronics manual mixer. To save a few hundred bucks/case I guess worth taking a few extra mins to do all this (I’m solo in office, non issue if had asst or scrub tech do it in asc while I access/balloon).

Yeah my scrub tech's job not mine. It was a bigger savings than that for me, too
