Aurora Spine Corp. has received the Health Canada Medical Device License for its Zip Interspinous Fusion System. Aurora's minimally invasive surgery (MIS) interspinous fixation implant for spinal fusion consists of aa proprietary one-step locking mechanism, articulating spikes and various sizes to accommodate variations in patient anatomy, which eliminates the use of a set screw.
Zip is part of Aurora Spine's Screwless-Procedure, which has been developed to reduce surgery time, shorten hospital stays, and improve recovery time.
"Aurora is changing spine surgery and we are excited to receive the Health Canada Medical Device License for our Zip MIS Interspinous Fusion System," said Trent J. Northcutt, president and CEO of Carlsbad, Calif.-based Aurora Spine. "As a company traded on the TSX Venture Exchange, this is a significant milestone for Aurora Spine and its global growth. We are pleased to offer the Zip MIS Interspinous Fusion System in Canada and introduce Aurora Spine's advanced, innovative, minimally invasive spine surgery technologies, which are designed to improve spine patient outcomes, drive continued surgeon interests and provide unique benefits that deliver value to hospitals and patients."
The system received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance in November 2013, and already has CE mark and Australian TGA listing.
Aurora Spine is an early stage company focused on bringing new solutions to the spinal implant market through a series of screwless, minimally invasive, regenerative spinal implant technologies.
The company recently obtained its fifth FDA clearance in the past 11 months.
