CoreLink, LLC, a fast growing designer and manufacturer of
spinal implant systems, announced the release of the Scaltoff™
Wire, a patent pending, stackable guide wire for its Entasis®
Sacroiliac Joint Fusion System. The convertible length wire enables
constant control during drilling, tapping, and insertion steps yet
can be quickly shortened to accommodate the C-arm in lateral view
x-rays.

“The most significant threat to patient safety in lateral SI
joint fusion procedures is the possibility of the guide wire
advancing into the sacral foramina and potentially damaging a nerve
root,” says Dr. Donald Sachs (Neurosurgeon, Tampa, FL), “This is a
good response to that common risk. Plus, with this, you don’t have
to remove the wire, avoiding the frustrations of finding your path
again.”
The stackable Scaltoff Wires (blunt and trocar) thread onto and
off each other, end-to-end, providing adjustable length. Considered
to be the stiffest on the market, the extra rigidity of these
stainless steel wires further enhances control for the surgeon.
Now a little more than a year on the market, CoreLink’s Entasis©
SI Joint Fusion System has seen more than 500 devices implanted.
Surgeons most often cite the device’s Easy-In™ dual-pitch
compression threading and the autograft self-harvesting
circumferential fenestrations as the most compelling features in
their choice of this device. CoreLink expects the addition of the
stackable Scaltoff Wire to further accelerate the adoption of this
implant system.
