SANTA ROSA, Calif., June 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Osseon® announces the release of the Osseoflex® CD-H hydraulic cement delivery system. This latest addition to the Osseon product line is designed for delivery of medium to high viscosity bone cement during the treatment of vertebral compression fractures (VCF).
