Medical Designs has launched a minimally invasive SAMBA Screw System, designed for the treatment of SI-Joint dysfunction, through out the US.
The FDA-approved device features a hollow titanium bone screw with radial slots that encourage fusion by allowing osteogenic and osteoconductive material to flow into the SI-Joint.
In addition, custom instrument set permits guided placement of multiple SAMBA Screws across the SI-Joint in a time optimized minimally invasive procedure resulting in immediate SI joint stabilization with expeditious and comfortable post-operative course, cliams the company.
The cannulated design of the SAMBA Screw with sharp bone cutting threads, is based on the company's Asfora Bullet Cage for lumbar fusion..
SAMBA Screw System inventor Wilson Asfora said, "We have completed thirty SAMBA Screw procedures here in Sioux Falls and the results have been outstanding."
