The Tenon Medical Catamaran Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System (CAT SIJ Fixation System) was developed as a less invasive alternative to traditional
open posterior surgical SIJ fusion. The Tenon Medical Catamaran Sacroiliac Joint Fixation System (CAT SIJ Fixation System) includes the Catamaran SIJ Implant and associated surgical instruments: an Access Set, a Drill/Delivery and an Accessory Set and an Extraction Set.
The titanium implant consists of two hollow barrels connected by a bridge. During the procedure, autologous bone graft material is placed in the barrel of the implant to facilitate stabilization. The Catamaran SIJ Implant is available in two (2) different barrel diameters (7.5mm and 10mm) and two implant lengths (30mm and 40mm) for a total of four sizing options to fit patient anatomy. The Catamaran SIJ Implant is intended for single-use only. The implants and associated components are provided clean and non-sterile and designed for routine steam sterilization prior to use.
The CAT SIJ Fixation System becomes the first patented single implant SIJ fusion system using a true posterior approach for minimal tissue disruption.The implant is designed to allow for bone graft materials to be loaded and delivered to the SIJ before and after implant placement to promote fusion of the SIJ.
The unique minimally invasive approach is designed to take less time and fewer surgical steps and represents a landmark innovation for SIJ fusion surgery benefiting patients, surgeons, facilities, and payers.The Catamaran addresses this unmet clinical need by providing a less invasive way to stabilize the SI joint without compromising the important surrounding soft tissue structures.
