GroupInterventionDescription
Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System (PBSS)Photodynamic Bone Stabilization SystemThe PBSS is comprised of an inflatable, thin walled polyethylene terephthalate (PET; Dacron™) balloon mounted on an insertion catheter. This balloon catheter system is designed to deliver the monomer cement to the fracture site via the medullary canal of the bone.
