Kyphon Inc.
 PROFILE
No, the orthopedic surgeon won't make you a balloon animal when she's finished, but at least your spine fracture will be on the mend. Kyphon's KyphX system uses inflation devices to repair fractures involving crushed or collapsed bones. Its KyphX Inflatable Bone Tamp is inflated to create space in a fractured bone, which a surgeon then fills with bone filler. The firm's minimally invasive products are sold in the US and certain European countries. The KyphX system is FDA-approved for spine surgery, but Kyphon is adapting it to be used to repair wrists, knees, and hips.
