Minimally Invasive Solution

SI-BONE, Inc. has developed a minimally invasive surgical (MIS), innovative, patented, sacroiliac implant system to treat sacroiliac (SI) joint conditions including disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis. As with all surgical procedures and permanent implants, there are risks and considerations associated with surgery and use of the iFuse Implant.  Please review the iFuse Instructions For Use for a complete discussion of contraindications, warnings, precautions, and risks.

The iFuse Implant System® consists of titanium implants and associated surgical instruments. Typically, patients receive three triangular-shaped titanium implants. Available implant lengths range from 30mm to 55mm in 5mm increments. These implants are delivered to the sacroiliac (SI) joint using a cannulated delivery system designed to proect soft tissue. All this is performed through a 2-3cm incision.

Potential iFuse benefits

  • Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach is less invasive than traditional fusion surgery with no extensive soft tissue stripping
  • Rigid titanium constructs provide enhanced stability
  • Porous plasma spray coating with irregular surface designed to support stable bone fusion
  • Large implant surface area designed to maximize post-surgical weight bearing capacity
  • Biomechanically rigorous implant designed specifically to stabilize the heavily loaded SI joint

With the iFuse Implant System, there is no need for:

  • Preparation of the joint prior to implant
  • BMP or autologous bone graft
  • Additional pedicle screws and rods
  • Hollow modular anchorage screws
  • Cannulated compression screws
  • Threaded cages within the joint
  • Fracture fixation screws

Possible benefits versus traditional surgical SI joint fixation

  • Smaller incision size
  • Less soft tissue stripping
  • Minimal tendon irritation

Possible benefits of a simpler surgical procedure

  • MIS device with small incision
  • Just drill, broach, insert iFuse and close
  • Cannulated delivery system
  • Minimal blood loss
  • Less post-surgical call-back to OR

iFuse Implant System versus traditional SI joint fusion

  • Bony interference with iFuse Implant System versus no bony interference with screws
  • No conflicts with lumbar fusion devices
  • Stronger construct versus traditional SI joint fusion
