FDA Gives Additional Clearance to Orthofix Medical’s 3D-Printed Sacroiliac Joint Screw

October 5, 2020

The FDA has cleared the nanotechnology component of Orthofix Medical’s Firebird 3D-printed sacroiliacfusion system.

The titanium bone screw features a nano-surface and is implanted via a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting two to four bone screws across the sacroiliac joint for stabilization during the fusion process.

The device allows bone to grow through it to aid in the fusion process for patients receiving treatment for joint pain and dysfunction.
