Zusammenfassung:A curved inflatable bone tamp (22) includes an outer shaft (24) defining a passageway (26). An inner shaft (34) is positioned within the passageway. The inner shaft extends between opposite first (36) and second (38) end. The inner shaft defines a lumen (42). The inner shaft is curved between the first end and the second end. A first leg (48) of a balloon (32) is coupled to the outer shaft and a second leg (50) of the balloon is coupled to the inner shaft such that a material can flow through the lumen and into the balloon to inflate the balloon. The balloon includes a wall having a variable thickness between the legs when the balloon is uninflated and a uniform thickness between the legs when the balloon is inflated. Kits, systems and methods are also described.
