The patent is related to the devicemaker’s ZipFlex technology for a minimally invasive posterior interlaminar implant, according to a June 13 news release. It is designed for a minimally invasive posterior interlaminar implant for motion preservation that could be adapted into a fusion or non-fusion device.

Features of ZipFlex include individually adjustable anchors to prevent implant migration and unnecessary bone removal to fit the implant. It’s the first technology to have an all-in-one approach for treating back pain.

Aurora Spine previously got a notice of allowance for the patent in February.

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
