“We are thrilled that our patent has been allowed by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. This patent further validates the pioneering nature of our ZIP Interspinous implants,” said Trent Northcutt, president and CEO of Aurora Spine. “It maintains our ability to continue introducing advanced spinal technologies.”
This is Aurora’s first allowed U.S. patent. Aurora has several other U.S. and international patent applications pending related to the ZIP system and its other spinal implant technologies.
“The minimally invasive ZIP screw-less portfolio provides spine surgeons with our now ‘patented’ one-step locking mechanism that eliminates the use of a set screw. The success of our Screwless Procedure is a testament to our dedicated focus on disruptive technology and our commitment to – simplifying the complex,” Northcutt added.
Based in Carlsbad, Calif., Aurora Spine is an early stage company developing screwless, innovative, minimally invasive, regenerative spinal implant technologies.
