Captiva Spine announced the first navigated, office-based sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion using conscious sedation (patient awake). The procedure utilized Captiva Spine’s WatchTower Spine Navigation System and TransFasten-PSF Posterior SI Fusion systems.
Benefits of the WatchTower Spine Navigation System include:
Eliminates the need for facilities to purchase an intra-operative CT scanner, making navigation technology applicable to smaller medical centers, Ambulatory Surgery Centers and office-based budgets
Uses a proprietary registration process that preserves the potential for percutaneous procedures, which may reduce operative morbidity
Virtually eliminates radiation exposure
TransFasten offers:
A posterior Approach, potentially reducing operative time and Neurovascular complications.
Posterior SI Fusion Site Preparation, allowing efficient joint preparation for fusion and press-fit implant placement.
Stabilization of the SI Joint – The geometry of the TransFasten implant, which bridges across the SI joint, is designed to stabilize the joint without unduly disrupting anatomy and creating new pain generators.
A structural Allograft Implant – A custom allograft implant includes a large trans-joint graft window to accommodate a biologic fusion.
