July 02 2021 - 3:02PM
SI-BONE, Inc., (Nasdaq: SIBN), a Silicon Valley-based medical
device company dedicated to solving musculoskeletal disorders of
the sacropelvic anatomy, today announced the worldwide launch of
the SI-BONE SImulator™.
The SI-BONE SImulator module is an innovative
training simulation system that provides surgeons a next generation
platform to learn new SI-BONE sacropelvic procedures, sharpen
existing surgical technique skills and prepare for iFuse
procedures, all in the comfort of their office. The SI-BONE
SImulator was developed and designed by SI-BONE and Medability,
based on Medability’s SimBone™ simulation platform. It takes
advantage of Medability’s revolutionary radiation-free simulation
technology to provide an immersive hands-on training experience,
including virtual x-ray, CT imaging and navigation. The unique,
portable system can be used in a surgeon’s office or any other
convenient location, without the need for a C-arm or other
radiation-based imaging equipment. The SImulator uses standard
iFuse instruments and implants, and allows training on
patient-specific anatomies including normal male, normal female, or
dysmorphic sacrum, using three interchangeable synthetic pelvic
inserts.
“At SI-BONE, we have invested in a truly
revolutionary technology that allows us to bring a realistic
training and educational experience directly to our surgeons in the
convenience of their office,” said Carlton Reckling, MD, Chief
Medical Officer and Vice President of Medical Affairs at SI-BONE.
“Today, we are the only provider in the sacropelvic space using
this training modality. Medability has been a great partner through
the entire development and implementation of this novel and
patient-specific simulation technology for hands-on training. Given
the challenges associated with traveling and group gatherings
during the COVID-19 pandemic, the SI-BONE SImulator has been a
tremendous asset allowing us to provide a high-quality educational
experience to surgeons interested in performing SI joint fusion and
Bedrock pelvic fixation procedures.”
The SI-BONE SImulator™, Powered by Medability,
is now being used throughout the U.S. and Europe for primary
lateral minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion procedures with
the iFuse Implant System®, the iFuse Bedrock™ Procedure and
intra-articular SI joint injections. It has been successfully used
with large groups, as well as in one-on-one individual sessions.
The synthetic tissue and pelvic inserts, are reused or
recycled.
“Medability is proud to work with a visionary
and innovative partner like SI-BONE, to facilitate access to safe
and high-quality training for surgeons and sales representatives
worldwide. Our customer-focused team develops scalable training
solutions to drive our partners’ success and enable immersive
hands-on training, anywhere and any time,” said Dr. Patrick
Wucherer, CEO and Co-Founder of Medability.

About SI-BONE, Inc.
SI-BONE is a medical device company that
pioneered minimally invasive surgery of the sacroiliac
(SI) joint with the iFuse Implant System®. Studies have
shown that the SI joint can be a source of pain in 15% to 30% of
chronic low back pain. The iFuse implant, commercially available
since 2009, is the only SI joint fusion device supported by
multiple prospective clinical studies, including two randomized
controlled trials, showing improved pain, patient function and
quality of life resulting from treatment. There are over 90
peer-reviewed publications demonstrating the safety, durable
effectiveness, and biomechanical and economic benefits unique to
the iFuse implant (www.si-bone.com/results). This body of evidence
has enabled multiple government and private insurance payors to
establish coverage of the SI joint fusion procedure exclusively
when performed with the iFuse Implant System.
The iFuse Implant System is intended for
sacroiliac fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint
dysfunction that is a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruption
and degenerative sacroiliitis. This includes conditions whose
symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum period and
have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months. The iFuse Implant
System is also intended for sacroiliac fusion to augment
stabilization and immobilization of the sacroiliac joint in
skeletally mature patients undergoing sacropelvic fixation as part
of a lumbar or thoracolumbar fusion. In addition, the iFuse Implant
System is intended for sacroiliac fusion in acute, non-acute, and
non-traumatic fractures involving the sacroiliac joint. There are
potential risks associated with the iFuse Implant System. It may
not be appropriate for all patients and all patients may not
benefit.
