Medical device firm ArthroCare of Sunnyvale, CA, received notice from the Food and Drug Administration that its Parallax Acrylic Resin with Tracers-Ta Bone Cement Opacifier has been cleared for the fixation of pathological fractures of the vertebral body using vertebroplasty or kyphoplasty procedures.

The product is designed to enhance the capability to track the flow of bone cement under fluoroscopy and consists of premeasured polymethyl-methacrylate, barium sulfate, and the firm's proprietary tantalum disk opacifiers. These particles create visible dark dots that show cement flow and placement within the bone cavity, ArthroCare said.
