The first patent covers the method of stabilizing an SI joint without drilling, avoiding the potential for tissue necrosis by overheating. The second patent includes a multimodal device used to bore out the cavity where the allograft implant will be placed, and the third patent covers PainTEQ’s large-window allograft implant itself.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
