Aurora Spine Announces Initial Surgeries using its AERO™ Lumbar Fusion System
Aurora Spine (OTCQB: ASAPF) has announced the successful completion of initial surgeries using its new AERO™ Lumbar Fusion System. The minimally invasive procedures were performed by both an orthopedic surgeon and an interventionalist on the lumbar spine region.
The AERO system, a patent-pending device cleared for use from spinal levels C2 to S1, is designed for patients with facet joint-related pain or instability. The company has 10 kits ready for future procedures and expects additional surgeons to adopt the technology in coming months. The system can be used as a standalone fusion procedure or as a complement to larger spinal fusion surgeries, targeting patients with mechanical back pain, minor instability, or degenerative joint disease who haven't responded to conservative therapies.
