About SI-BONE, Inc.
SI-BONE is a medical device company that pioneered the iFuse
Implant System, a minimally invasive surgical system for fusion of
the sacroiliac joint to treat sacroiliac joint dysfunction. The SI
joint is believed to be the last major joint with a clinically
proven surgical treatment. The iFuse Implant, commercially
available since 2009, is believed to be the only SI joint fusion
device supported by multiple prospective clinical studies showing
improved pain, patient function and quality of life resulting from
treatment. There are over 60 peer-reviewed publications supporting
the safety, 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. There are potential risks associated with
the iFuse Implant System. It may not be appropriate for all
patients and all patients may not benefit.
