As recently disclosed, Tenon has terminated its legacy distribution agreement with its former distribution partner, SpineSource, and has assumed control of all commercial distribution & sales activities of the Catamaran™ SI Joint Fusion System (“Catamaran”). Tenon has begun developing its own commercial infrastructure and sales management team that will partner with key independent spine distributors throughout the country who are motivated to represent the Company’s Catamaran. The Company is using the NASS meeting as the national launch event for the Catamaran, which is the only single, titanium fixation device that is implanted from an inferior-posterior approach and transfixes the SI Joint along its longitudinal axis to treat conditions such as SI joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis.

The Company will have an interactive hands-on technical exhibit (#2134) where health care providers attending the meeting can learn more about the Catamaran and its novel inferior-posterior approach. Throughout the meeting the Tenon exhibit booth will also host Catamaran “Meet the Expert” sessions where Drs Mark H. Stouffer, MD (orthopedic spine surgeon, St. George, UT) and Scott C. Kutz, MD (Neurosurgeon, Plano, TX.) will share their Catamaran clinical experience, patient selection criteria and associated clinical outcomes with attendees visiting the exhibit.

The introduction of this single, robust titanium implant solution is a critical first step in building commercial momentum for Tenon.”

About Tenon Medical, Inc.

Tenon Medical, Inc., a medical device company formed in 2012, has developed The Catamaran™ SI Joint Fusion System that offers a novel, less invasive Inferior-Posterior approach to the SI joint using a single, robust titanium implant. The system features the Catamaran™ Fixation Device which passes through both the axial and sagittal planes of the ilium and sacrum, transfixing the SI joint along its longitudinal axis. With an entry that mimics SI joint injection, the surgical approach is direct to the joint and inferior to the wide and variable dorsal recess. The angle and trajectory of the Inferior-Posterior approach is designed to provide a pathway away from critical neural and vascular structures and into the strongest cortical bone. Tenon is preparing a national launch of this system to address the greatly underserved market opportunity that exists in this space. For more information, please visit https://www.tenonmed.com/.
