Camber Spine Technologies announced it received 510(k) clearance for its Siconus sacroiliac fixation system, according to a press release.
The Siconus sacroiliac (SI) fixation system was created to treat SI disease and to be used in combination with the Prolix custom, machined allograft implant.
“The Siconus SI fusion screw system is an important addition to our growing portfolio of devices and completes our exclusive SI fusion product portfolio,” Daniel Pontecorvo, founder and chief executive officer of Camber Spine Technologies, said in the release. “Siconus provides superior compression across the SI joint over multiple turns of the threaded fixation implants. When used with the Prolix SI joint fusion system, the combined solution offers a direct visualization and insertion of a machined allograft spacer into the SI joint, followed by a lateral approach compression and fixation implants. The combined solution may be the only [minimally invasive surgery] MIS SI joint fusion technology to foster a true fusion of the SI joint.”
According to the release, the system offers fixation and stabilization of large bones, such as the sacrum and ilium, and is intended for skeletally mature patients as an adjunct to fusion to treat degenerative sacroiliitis or sacroiliac joint disruptions. Siconus was reportedly created under a collaborative agreement with the Institute for Musculoskeletal Science and Education.
