Orthopedic cement dispensers designed for controlled delivery of cement into the spinal vertebrae during percutaneous surgical procedures. These dispensers typically consist of a hollow tube, cannula, or needle that includes some mechanism (e.g., a valve) incorporated in the proximal knob intended to control the flow of orthopedic cement in the target area of the vertebra. Spinal surgery orthopedic cement dispensers are used in minimally invasive surgical procedures such as vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty.
