The Patriot SI is a posterior Implant System to be placed in-line with the SI joint.
The Patriot SI Posterior Implant System is a small device to stabilize and fuse the SI joint, which is located in your lower back. It’s made of titanium and comes in one size. The Patriot SI is coated by Hydroxyapatite which could help lead to fusion.
During the procedure, the implant is placed between two bones in your pelvis, called the sacrum and ilium, using special threads on the outside of the implant.
This special surgical technique involves preparing the SI joint for fusion by roughening the bone surface. The surface of the implant is rough, which may help your bone attach to it better making fusion more likely and follows important AO orthopedic principles to help the joint fuse properly.
It’s the only system that can be guided precisely into place within the SI joint using a guidewire through the implant. It’s made with a special design and material to help your bone grow through it and fuse the joint. It’s placed from the back in a controlled way using a guidewire.
In tests, using this technique resulted in better stability than other methods*.
Indication For Use: The Patriot SI Posterior Implant System is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.
