A balloon (10) for use in compressing cancellous bone and marrow (also known as medullary bone and trabecular bone) against the inner cortex of bones whether the bones are fractured or not. The balloon comprises an inflatable, non-expandable balloon body (12, 14) for insertion into said bone. The body has a shape and size to compress at least a portion of the cancellous bone to form a cavity in the cancellous bone and to restore the original position of the outer cortical bone, if fractured or collapsed. The balloon is prevented from applying excessive pressure to the outer cortical bone. The wail or walls of the balloon are such that proper inflation of the balloon body is achieved to provide for optimun compression of all of the bone marrow. The balloon is folded so that it can be easily inserted into a bone. The balloon can he made to have a suction catheter (16). The main purpose of the balloon is the forming or enlarging of a cavity or passage in a bone, especially in, but not limited to, vertebral bodies.

Ballonnet (10) prévu pour comprimer l'os spongieux et la moelle (également connus sous les noms d'os médullaire et l'os trabéculaire) contre le cortex interne des os, que ces derniers soient fracturés ou non. Ce ballonnet comprend un corps (12, 14) de ballonnet non extensible et gonflable prévu pour être introduit dans ledit os, la forme et la taille dudit corps étant prévues pour comprimer au moins une partie de l'os spongieux afin de former une cavité dans cet os et replacer dans sa position d'origine l'os cortical externe, s'il est fracturé ou tassé. Le ballonnnet ne peut appliquer une pression excessive sur l'os cortical externe. La ou les parois du ballonnet sont telles qu'on peut effectuer le gonflage approprié du corps du ballonnet de manière à assurer la compression optimale de la totalité de la moelle osseuse. Le ballonnet est plié de manière à pouvoir être facilement introduit dans un os. Ce ballonnet peut être conçu de manière à comprendre un cathéter d'aspiration (16). L'objectif principal de ce ballonnet est de former ou d'élargir une cavité ou un passage présent dans un os et ce, plus spécifiquement dans les corps vertébraux, mais aussi dans d'autres os.
