100th Surgical Implantation of ZIP ULTRA™ MIS Interspinous Device Performed in Canada
July 09 2018 - 9:01AM
Aurora Spine Corporation (TSXV:ASG) ("Aurora Spine" or the
"Company") announced today the 100th surgical implantation of the
company's ZIP ULTRA® minimally invasive interspinous device in
Canada. These surgeries are part of Aurora Spine's continuing
efforts to expand the use of the Company’s ZIP® MIS Fusion System
in North America.
The 100th surgery was completed with a ZIP implant provided by
Venture Medical, Ltd. and performed at False Creek Healthcare
Centre in Vancouver, BC by Navraj Heran, MD, the center’s Chief of
Neurosurgery.
"The Aurora Spine ZIP ULTRA MIS fusion system is a very
intuitive and easy to use system that allows me to perform a short
and safe surgery while avoiding the risk of nerve impact," said Dr.
Heran. “The ZIP device is minimally invasive and the implantation
is fast and simple via a small incision.”
"We are very excited to continue offering our ZIP MIS products
in Canada," said Laszlo Garamszegi, Chief Technology Officer and VP
of Engineering of Aurora Spine. “The ZIP family of products is
designed to be simple, safe and secure with minimal disruption to
patients and we are convinced that ZIP implants will contribute to
improved patient outcomes in Canada."
Aurora Spine's patented ZIP ULTRA MIS interspinous fixation
implant for spinal fusion consists of the ONE-STEP™ locking
mechanism, which eliminates the use of a set screw, articulating
spikes and various sizes to accommodate variations in patient
anatomy.
“We are passionate about delivering innovative, first-class
products like the ZIP spinal implant to the Canadian market,” said
Chris Walsh, President and CEO of Venture Medical, Ltd. “The ZIP
implant device is proven to be one of the most significant,
minimally invasive technology solutions in the Canadian healthcare
market.”
