US-based Aurora Spine has received the Health Canada Medical Device Licence for its ZIP Interspinous Fusion System.

The ZIP MIS interspinous fixation implant for spinal fusion includes a one-step locking mechanism, articulating spikes and several sizes to accommodate variations in patient anatomy, eliminating the use of a set screw.

The system is a major product in the company’s Screwless-Procedure, an advanced surgical approach to spine fusion.

Screwless-Procedure was developed to increase the possibility of significant benefits to patients, hospitals and surgeons, including reduced surgery time, shorter hospital stays and significantly faster recovery time.

The company said these benefits will continue to be the driving force of its competitive advantage and growth.

“Screwless-Procedure was developed to increase the possibility of significant benefits to patients, hospitals and surgeons, including reduced surgery time, shorter hospital stays and significantly faster recovery time.”

Aurora Spine president Trent Northcutt said: “Aurora is changing spine surgery and we are excited to receive the Health Canada Medical Device Licence for our ZIP MIS Interspinous Fusion System.
