Aurora Spine Plans Study of ZIP Interspinous Fixation

Aurora Spine will commence a multicenter study of its ZIP™ Interspinous Fixation device for patients suffering from back pain due to symptomatic degenerative disc disease.

“The ZIP study is an important milestone for Aurora as we are committed to helping patients experiencing chronic back pain by advancing the benefits of the ZIP-Screwless™ procedure through vigorous clinical research,” said Trent J. Northcutt, President and CEO of Aurora Spine. “This multicenter study is designed to demonstrate reproducible outcomes in the real world through vigorous science and attention to quality of life. We are excited to pursue this evidence-based pathway. We continue to be very pleased with the enthusiasm of our clinical investigators,” said Northcutt. “Site selection has commenced, and we are appreciative of all the support from our stellar group of physicians across the country to bring this pivotal, minimally invasive technology to market. We believe there is a significant population of patients who will benefit from the ZIP-Screwless procedure once this important study is completed.”
