3D PrintingJoint Fixation Device
Sacral iliac joint dysfunction occurs when the sacroiliac joint (SI joint) becomes inflamed. The SI joint is the joint that connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) and the ilium (the large bone in the pelvis). Croom Medical adoptsnTopologyDesigned andrenishawThe SI joint fixation device was 3D printed on the system.
They use advanced nTopologySoftwareConduct precision design and use Renishaw (Renishaw) Metal laserPBFtechnology is used for manufacturing, utilizing high-performance materials such as titanium, tantalum, and cobalt-chromium. The entire device is designed by a team of engineers and technicians, with the majority of researchers holding PhDs, forming a very strong R&D team. Croom Medical is committed to researching and developing cost-effective solutions, providing excellent biomechanical stability and motion support for patients suffering from SI joint dysfunction.
This fixation device passes through the ilium, crosses the SI joint, and enters the sacrum laterally at an angle. This fixation path effectively avoids many tissue structures, including the gluteal artery, gluteal nerve, and muscles, offering advantages over direct entry.
