Silo is a single-graft system made of human cortical bone and designed as a safe and reproducible method of stabilizing and fusing the sacroiliac joint, according to the company.
The device has three levels of ridges along its circumferential body intended to increase implant retention and stability.
“We expect [Silo] to be a key growth driver for Aurora into a market that has gained acceptance among key surgeons and pain interventionalists alike,” Trent Northcutt, president and CEO of Aurora Spine, said. “Conducting SI Joint Fusion posteriorly is a procedure that is expected to grow immensely in the coming years, as it can be done through minimally invasive surgery and has quicker recovery times for patients.”
