Integrated Decortication
Deployable blades prepare the SI joint by exposing bleeding cancellous bone and creating an optimized fusion environment.
Introducing
Saturn™
Engineering the Biological Environment for Reliable SI Joint Fusion.
Saturn is a new philosophy of sacroiliac fusion — integrating joint preparation, targeted graft delivery, and controlled compression into a single implant workflow purpose-built for reliable arthrodesis.
The Clinical Problem
Stabilization alone is not fusion.
Mechanical stabilization is an important component of SI joint fusion, but stabilization alone does not create a biologic arthrodesis. Successful fusion requires preparation of the joint surfaces, delivery of osteogenic material, and a stable mechanical environment that supports bone healing. Despite advances in fixation technology, pseudarthrosis and persistent pain remain clinical challenges following SI joint fusion.
Why Saturn Is Different
An integrated approach to arthrodesis.
Saturn reimagines SI joint fusion by integrating the critical components of arthrodesis into a single implant platform.
Targeted Bone Graft Delivery
The cannulated implant delivers biologic graft directly into the prepared fusion bed.
Titratable Compression
Controlled compression across the SI joint promotes mechanical stability while supporting arthrodesis.
Procedural Workflow
A single implant. An integrated workflow.
Every step engineered to build toward reliable arthrodesis — from guidewire to final compression.
