Dr. Kingsley R Chin is a graduate of Harvard Medical School and a professor and board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon who has been innovating and developing spine medical devices since 2000 with over 50 global patents issued to his name. In 2019 he made an unpopular and unimaginable decision to start training pain management doctors to perform outpatient minimally invasive spine surgeries on patients needing decompression for spinal stenosis and spinal fusions. “I knew orthopedic spine surgeons do not believe pain management physicians should be doing spinal fusions but I also knew pain management doctors were seeing a lot of patients who needed decompression, spinal fusions and sacroiliac joint fusions but were limited to pain medications, spinal cord stimulators and injections which were not treating the underlying mechanical problem.

I saw the opportunity to train pain management doctors to treat more patients so in 2019 I introduced them to percutaneous and fluoroscopic minimally invasive surgery techniques and devices which they quickly adopted and performed safely and effectively,” said Dr Chin. “We have data on the efficacy of our interventional spine technologies for years in the hands of orthopedic spine surgeons and neurosurgeons so we only had to customize the techniques and instruments to make them more user-friendly to pain management doctors and focus on training,” said Vito Lore, Vice President of Innovation at KICVentures Group. “It has become a passion for me to fly around the USA every week to train pain management doctors and see them gain confidence and belief when they see how much their patients have benefitted,” said Angel Walker the lead Clinical Specialists and Trainer for KICVentures Group.

“This is validation for KICVentures Group and Dr Kingsley R Chin that their spine technologies are being adopted by us in pain management fairly rapidly and the major pain management societies are accepting the clinical evidence for presentation to us members led by NANS in 2022,” said Dr Soubrata Raikar a leading pain management physician and key opinion leader presenting four abstracts at NANS.

It is a major break from tradition and a precedent to have an orthopedic spine surgeon attend a predominant pain management annual conference such as the NANS 2022 Annual Meeting. Eight abstracts will be presented on Inspan for patients who had spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease who needed spinal fusion. Seven Abstracts will be presented on Sacrix results for treating patients with pain and sacroiliac joint dysfunction who successfully underwent a new percutaneous fluoroscopic lateral-oblique Sacrix SIJ fixation technique. There is one presentation on NanoFuse Biologics.

About SACRIX, LLC

Sacrix LLC is a KICVentures Group portfolio company focused on revolutionary percutaneous fluoroscopic lateral-oblique sacroiliac joint fusion technologies for the treatment of sacroiliac dysfunction and sacroiliitis. Sacrix developed its patented Sacrofuse threaded implant to be inserted percutaneously and received FDA clearance in 2015. The Gen1 Sacrofuse implant was compared head-to-head with market leader SI bone (SIBN) and found to have a 400% increase in pull-out strength. Sacrix has trained over 165 interventional pain physicians to perform its revolutionary percutaneous lateral-oblique sacroiliac joint fusion technique safely and effectively through a 1.5 cm incision minimally invasively in outpatient ambulatory surgery centers.

Inspan is now indicated to be used for Spinal Stenosis and Fusion from T1-S1. The Inspan Spinous Process Plate System is a posterior non-pedicle supplemental fixation system intended for use in the non-cervical spine (T1-S1). It is intended for plate fixation/attachment to the spinous process for the purpose of achieving supplemental fusion for the following indications: spondylolisthesis, trauma (fracture or dislocation), tumor, or degenerative disc disease (defined as discogenic pain with degeneration of the disc confirmed by history and radiographic studies). The device is intended for use with bone graft material and is not intended for stand-alone use.
