SI-BONE, Inc. Announces First-In-Patient Procedures with FDA Breakthrough Device for Pelvic Fracture Fixation
10 Oktober 2024 - 2:30PM
SI-BONE, Inc. (Nasdaq: SIBN), a Silicon Valley-based medical device
company dedicated to providing surgical solutions for sacropelvic
disorders, today announced first-in-patient procedures with the
FDA-designated breakthrough device, iFuse TORQ TNT™ Implant System
(TNT). Designed to address the anatomic and biomechanical
challenges of pelvic fragility fractures, particularly in patients
with poor bone quality, TNT offers a significant advancement over
traditional cannulated screws.
TNT, which received 510(k) clearance in August
2024 and was awarded Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA, is
the first 3D-printed transiliac-transsacral screw cleared for
market use in the U.S. It features a pelvis-specific design to
improve initial fixation and reduce the risk of screw backout.
Among the first surgeons to perform procedures with TNT were Edward
Westrick, MD, at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA, Reza
Firoozabadi, MD, at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA, J.D.
Black, MD, at Kadlec Regional Medical Center in Richland, WA, and
Brian Cunningham, MD, at Methodist Hospital – HealthPartners in St.
Louis Park, MN.
“TNT went beyond my expectations,” said Dr.
Black. “The streamlined instrumentation and implant design not only
provided excellent fixation but also allowed for quick, precise
implantation. This efficiency is critical when treating patients
with fragile bones, as it reduces operating time, minimizes risks,
and leads to faster recovery.”
“TNT’s 3D-printed porous surface facilitates
osseointegration, which I believe will lead to better long-term
outcomes for my older, osteoporotic patients,” said Dr. Cunningham,
Vice Chair and Director of Orthopedics at Methodist Hospital –
HealthPartners.
“We are thrilled with the successful completion
of these initial procedures using our iFuse TORQ TNT system,” said
Laura Francis, Chief Executive Officer of SI-BONE. “This
breakthrough technology marks a significant step forward in
addressing the unmet clinical needs of complex pelvic fragility
fractures. By providing a solution that improves both surgical
efficiency and patient recovery, we are further expanding our
leadership in the sacropelvic space.”
