Also called KYPHON XPANDER Inflation Syringe, Inflation syringe with a pressure gauge
A battery-powered screw-type inflation syringe: clear barrel with volume marks, a depress-release handle that turns the plunger, a backlit digital pressure display (PSI, ATM or MPa) with a selectable maximum of 400 or 700 psi, and pressure-rated tubing ending in a weighted swivel luer.

Primary uses
