How It Works

SI Joint Fusion with the iFuse Implant System®

The iFuse Implant System is designed to provide fusion for the sacroiliac joint. This is accomplished by inserting small titanium implants across the sacroiliac joint to maximize post-surgical stability and weight bearing capacity.

iFuse benefits

  • Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approach is less invasive than traditional SI joint surgery
  • Implant profile and design minimizes rotation and micromotion
  • Rigid construct provides for enhanced stability
  • Potential for earlier patient weight bearing
  • Porous plasma spray coating with irregular surface designed to support stable bone fusion
  • Larger implant surface area designed to maximize post-surgical weight bearing capacity
  • Biomechanically rigorous implant designed specifically to stabilize the heavily loaded SI joint

Simplified surgical procedure anticipated...

  • MIS device with small incision
  • Minimal blood loss
  • Fewer complications
  • Decreased OR time
  • Reduced risk of infection

iFuse Implant System versus traditional SI joint fusion

  • Minimal incision size
  • No need for bone grafting
  • Minimal soft tissue stripping
  • Minimal tendon irritation
