      SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- An independent evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the Kiva VCF Treatment System, developed by Benvenue Medical, Inc., compared with balloon kyphoplasty, found that Kiva delivered significant improvements in back pain. The Kiva system also resulted in significantly fewer new fractures and half the mean cement used as compared to balloon kyphoplasty. The peer-reviewed study results were published online and in the September/October edition of Pain Physician Journal, the official publication of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians. This is the second independent study to be published this year that provides results that favor Kiva. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
