Systems and Methods for Treating a Sacroiliac Joint

Tech ID: 20A010

­Advantages:

  • Surgical Precision: Targets the ilial wall, preserving sacral cortex integrity, and reducing the risk of implant subsidence into the sacrum.
  • Adaptable Kits: Varied implant sizes and guide tube with asymmetrical tangs ensure precise implantation tailored to diverse dorsal recess anatomies.
  • Multifunctional Design: Fusion-compatible surfaces and internal fixation mechanisms provide secondary fixation and versatility in surgical applications.

Summary:

Our technology utilizes a posterior strategy based on scientific precision to address the limitations associated with standard lateral approaches to sacroiliac joint (SIJ) treatment. Our method effectively mitigates the risks of neurological, muscular, and vascular issues that can occur after implantation. This answers the increasing need for surgical procedures and patient outcomes that are supported by evidence-based improvements.

The precise design of the double-wedge-shaped cuboid implant is crucial for our distinctiveness. This design is scientifically built to improve load distribution and promote bone fusion. It specifically addresses the common problem of sinking, which has been a challenge in the past. This design represents a change from standard approaches. Our technology, supported by full treatment kits and a patient-centered approach, offers a scientifically driven solution that is transforming sacroiliac joint treatments. We prioritize empirical techniques, safety, and effectiveness, thereby redefining the landscape of this medical field. Our surgical kits demonstrate our dedication to accuracy, adaptability, and a personalized approach by incorporating a guide tube, customized cutting tools, and adaptable implants.
