Problem
Traditional lumbar spinal fusion often involves invasive procedures with pedicle screws, leading to potential complications such as adjacent segment degeneration and extended recovery times. These methods may not be ideal for the growing Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) market, which demands less invasive and more efficient solutions.
Solution
ZygoFix offers the zLOCK system, a minimally invasive alternative to traditional pedicle screw fixation for lumbar spinal fusion. The zLOCK system utilizes a small, 3D-printed titanium implant that stabilizes the spine by anchoring within the facet joint. This approach minimizes surgical trauma, reduces the risk of adjacent segment degeneration, and allows for quicker patient turnaround, making it well-suited for the ASC market. The implant's bendable design conforms to individual patient anatomy, ensuring a personalized and precise fit.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) seeking less invasive and more efficient solutions for lumbar spinal fusion.
