Preferred Label : Photodynamic Bone Stabilization System;
NCIt synonyms : PBSS;
NCIt definition : A system for the repair of bone fractures comprised of a PET or Dacron balloon mounted
on an insertion catheter. The balloon catheter is delivered through a small pathway
into the intramedullary canal transiting the fracture site and is then infused with
a biocompatible monomer, causing it to expand, fill, and conform to the patient's
intramedullary canal. The monomer infused balloon is activated to cure by visible
light. The cured implant provides both longitudinal strength and rotational stability
to allow for fracture repair and stabilization.;
