Company Description
Tenon Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNON) is a medical device company in the surgical appliance and supplies manufacturing industry. Formed in 2012, the company focuses on technologies for patients suffering from sacroiliac (SI) joint and broader sacro-pelvic disorders. Tenon Medical develops and commercializes minimally invasive SI joint fusion systems designed to stabilize the joint and promote true biological fusion, with an emphasis on sacroiliac joint disruptions, degenerative sacroiliitis and sacro-pelvic fixation needs.
According to the company’s disclosures, Tenon Medical has developed The Catamaran SI Joint Fusion System, which offers a novel, less invasive approach to the SI joint using a single, robust titanium implant. The Catamaran Fixation Device passes through both the axial and sagittal planes of the ilium and sacrum, stabilizing and transfixing the SI joint along its longitudinal axis. The angle and trajectory of the Catamaran surgical approach are designed to provide a pathway away from critical neural and vascular structures and into strong cortical bone. Since the national launch of the Catamaran SI Joint Fusion System in October 2022, Tenon has focused on three commercial opportunities in the SI joint market: primary SI joint procedures, revision procedures of failed SI joint implants, and augmenting or providing adjunct fixation to spinal fusion constructs.
Core technologies and product portfolio
Tenon Medical describes its technology portfolio as centered on achieving fusion, not fixation for SI joint procedures. The Catamaran SI Joint Fixation Device is a single-piece titanium implant with two pontoons connected by an osteotome bridge, engineered to transfix the SI joint along its longitudinal axis for immediate stabilization and long-term fusion. It is placed via a minimally invasive inferior-posterior approach into dense cortical bone of the sacrum and ilium. Company communications note that this design is developed in line with AO principles of arthrodesis: joint preparation, rigid fixation and bone graft augmentation.
The company reports that the Catamaran system has been used in more than 1,000 procedures for indications including primary SI joint dysfunction, sacroiliitis, revision of failed alternative implants, and stabilization of the SI joint beneath lumbar long constructs. Tenon has also introduced the Catamaran SE SI Joint Fusion System, which incorporates a reduced-profile fixation device intended to give physicians an additional implant size option, particularly for patients with smaller SI joint anatomy or revision cases where space is limited. The Catamaran SE uses a dedicated proprietary instrument set and supports a minimally invasive inferior-posterior approach, with a hand drill option for surgeons who prefer manual drilling during implant site preparation.
Beyond Catamaran, Tenon has expanded its portfolio through the acquisition of sacro-pelvic technologies. On August 1, 2025, the company completed the acquisition of substantially all assets of SiVantage, Inc., including intellectual property related to sacropelvic fixation and fusion procedures, referred to as the SImmetry business and SI Products. Tenon describes this acquisition as transforming it into a multi-product, multi-approach sacro-pelvic fusion company and bringing revenue-generating technologies and an expanded commercial organization. The company also entered into an asset purchase agreement with SIMPL Medical, LLC for posterior sacroiliac implant technology (SIMPL Products), with royalty-based consideration tied to future net revenue from those products.
A key outcome of the SiVantage acquisition is the addition of the SImmetry SI Joint Fusion System and the SImmetry+ SI Joint Fusion System. Tenon reports that the SImmetry+ system has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance as a minimally invasive lateral access SI joint fusion solution indicated for sacroiliac joint fusion in conditions such as sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis. SImmetry+ uses 3D-printed titanium implants and proprietary instrumentation and is described as incorporating joint decortication, bone graft delivery and fixation to support a true fusion approach. The system is cleared for use with one to three implants, giving physicians flexibility based on patient anatomy and pathology.
Tenon states that SImmetry+ features 3D-printed titanium implants with a self-drilling, self-tapping and self-harvesting design intended to streamline implantation and enhance bone preparation and fusion. Company materials emphasize that SImmetry+ and Catamaran together provide multiple surgical approaches—lateral and inferior-posterior—both designed to be minimally invasive and to enable authentic arthrodesis. The portfolio is supported by clinical evidence, including the prospective MAINSAIL and EvoluSIon SI joint fusion studies.
Clinical evidence and studies
Tenon highlights clinical data from its MAINSAIL study, a prospective, single-arm, multi-center post-market clinical trial evaluating clinical and radiographic outcomes in adult patients with SI joint disruptions or degenerative sacroiliitis treated with the Catamaran SI Joint Fusion System. The study is designed to enroll up to 50 patients with follow-up to 24 months. A second interim analysis covering the first 24 consecutive patients across six U.S. clinical sites reported 12‑month outcomes.
According to the company’s summary of the MAINSAIL interim analysis, patients experienced statistically significant reductions in SI joint pain (measured by VAS scores) and disability (measured by ODI scores) at 12 months, high patient satisfaction rates and a favorable safety profile with no serious adverse events, re-operations or re-interventions reported in the cohort. Radiographic CT fusion assessments performed by an independent radiologist showed a high proportion of patients with unequivocal evidence of fusion with bridging bone across the SI joint and no radiolucency at 12 months.
Tenon also references the EvoluSIon study as clinical evidence supporting the SImmetry+ system. In company materials summarizing 12‑month outcomes from EvoluSIon, among 250 treated patients the procedure is reported to have demonstrated a strong safety profile, meaningful reductions in pain and improvements in quality-of-life measures. The company notes reductions in pre-operative opioid use and a substantial percentage of patients with radiographic fusion of the SI joint at 12 months, confirmed by CT and independently reviewed by a trained radiologist.
Business focus and commercial strategy
Tenon Medical consistently describes itself as a company transforming or redefining care for patients with sacro-pelvic disorders. Its stated commercial focus centers on three SI joint market opportunities with the Catamaran system: primary SI joint procedures, revision procedures of failed SI joint implants, and SI joint fusion adjunct to a spine fusion construct. With the addition of SImmetry and SImmetry+, the company presents itself as offering a multi-product, multi-approach sacro-pelvic fusion portfolio that spans SI joint fusion, spinal fusion adjuncts, revision surgery and deformity adjuncts.
The company’s communications emphasize a strategy of portfolio diversification, commercial expansion and operational alignment. Tenon reports activities such as full commercial launch of Catamaran SE, integration of the SiVantage acquisition, expansion of its commercial team, and targeted training sessions and workshops for physicians on Catamaran and SImmetry systems. Management commentary in earnings releases describes efforts to streamline operating infrastructure, advance commercial training, and strengthen hospital approval pathways and distribution networks associated with the acquired portfolios.
Tenon’s revenue is described as being generated from sales of its SI joint fusion systems, including the Catamaran system and, following the SiVantage acquisition, the SImmetry SI Joint Fusion System and SImmetry+. Earlier descriptions state that the company derived the majority of its revenue from sales of The Catamaran System to a limited number of clinicians, and more recent disclosures reference record procedure volumes and the addition of SImmetry product sales as drivers of revenue.
