Additional info: product analysis: there is a cut in the balloon located on the proximal side of the peak circumference of the balloon.The cut runs perpendicular to the shaft of the inflatable bone tamp.This type of cut is usually caused by bones splinters.The fact that all three balloons have been cut int the same way and in approximately the same location points to sharp bone.If information is provided in the future, a supplemental report will be issued.
