Catamaran® SI Joint Fusion System – Implant for SI Joint Stabilization
Admin
SI joint would like to be loved too… #NeoArmory:
SI joint is like the Spine’s forgotten little child left Home Alone before a big European holiday. Studies estimate SI joint dysfunction can be behind 15-35% of LBAs. Although we are picking this up more recently, we need more modalities of management.
The Catamaran® SI Joint Fusion System from Tenon Medical (CA, USA), aims to address the Kevin Mcallister (Homealone) situation. It is a Robust Titanium peg type implant to transfix and help fuse the SI joint. Uses an inferior-posterior approach and transfixes along a longitudinal axis.
Mechanical testing shows it being a reliable stabilization system and a single centre study concluded a good reduction in SI joint pain.
MAINSAIL study has given out interim 6 month result that suggests 61% pain reduction(VAS), 93% patient satisfaction, No re-operation, No reintervention and 80% success rate.
