Aurora Spine's SiLO TFX minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fixation system debuted, the devicemaker said April 17.
The device has been used in more than a dozen patients, and all cases were successful, according to a news release. The system includes a transfixing-cone, an ilium screw, a sacrum screw and surgical instruments. Its implants are designed to transfix the sacrum and ilium and provide stability for fusion.
"The SiLO TFX marks the next chapter in treating patients safely and effectively with a minimally invasive option for sacroiliac joint fixation," neurosurgeon Steven Falowski, MD, said in the release. "It incorporates two well-known techniques of graft placement into the joint, and transfixation across the sacrum and ilium. The instrumentation allows for a smooth placement with a single small incision improving both the physician and patient experience."
