An intravertebral widening device (4) extends from a proximal end (8) to a
distal end (10) along an extension axis (X), said distal end (10) having
an elastically deformable element (56) suitable to pass from a relaxed
configuration for placing the distal end (10) within a vertebral body (6)
to a deformed configuration for forming a cavity within said vertebral
body (6). The elastically deformable element (56) comprises at least one
tab (60) having, along the longitudinal extension thereof, a varying
thickness relative to a radial direction incident with said extension
axis (X) and contained in a perpendicular plane to said extension axis
(X), such as to vary the stiffness of at least one tab (60) along the
extension thereof.
