Hyprevention USA provides the V‑STRUT® transpedicular system, a minimally invasive implant that reinforces vertebrae weakened by osteoporosis or cancer. The device combines a PEEK implant with PMMA bone cement to restore stability, allowing surgeons to treat acute compression fractures and prophylactically prevent future fractures within standard spine surgery workflows.

Problem
Patients with osteoporosis or cancer‑related bone weakening are at high risk of vertebral compression fractures, and existing treatments often do not provide sufficient structural support to prevent new fractures or to stabilize existing ones.
Solution
Hyprevention offers the V‑STRUT® transpedicular device, a minimally invasive implant that reinforces weakened vertebrae. The system combines a PEEK implant—whose elastic modulus closely matches that of natural bone—with polymethyl‑methacrylate (PMMA) bone cement to restore vertebral stability. The device is designed for both treatment of acute compression fractures and prophylactic reinforcement to reduce the likelihood of future fractures. Clinical data from over 50 patients demonstrate improved pain scores and functional outcomes. The product is manufactured, distributed, and supported by Hyprevention in the United States and selected international markets, providing surgeons with a ready‑to‑use solution that integrates into standard spinal procedures.
Target Audience
Primary customers are orthopedic and spine surgeons treating osteoporotic or metastatic vertebral compression fractures, as well as hospitals and surgical centers seeking to expand their minimally invasive fracture management portfolio.
