zLOCK Technology Reimagining Spinal Fusion

The zLOCK technology sets a new benchmark in joint stabilization. zLOCK is based on a miniature implant designed to stabilize the spine by anchoring within the facet joint, providing an alternative to pedicle screws.

  • Posterior stabilization in ALIF, LLIF

  • Ipsilateral stabilization in TLIF

  • Stand-alone stabilization w/w.o decompression*

    * Stand-alone use not cleared by FDA

    ** FDA cleared system consists of the zLOCK spacer and trans-facet zLOCK screw

zLOCK offers a safe and effective fixation solution suitable for a wide range of procedures:

Clinical Procedures

zLOCK’s Surgical Technique: Simple, Minimally Invasive, and Effective

zLOCK’s surgical technique is designed to ensure simplicity and minimal invasiveness, offering an efficient and streamlined procedure for patients and surgeons alike.

zLOCK’s Surgical Technique

Navigation Tool Placement

  • The zLOCK navigation tool is positioned to provide precise access to the facet joint throughout the procedure. This tool facilitates accurate placement for the surgical instruments and the implant.

Joint Preparation

  • The facet joint is carefully prepared to receive the implant, creating the ideal environment for secure placement, primary stability and fusion over time.

Implant Positioning

  • The implant is inserted into its designated location using the navigation tool, ensuring accurate alignment and placement, with minimal surrounding trauma.

Outstanding Biomechanical stability

Biomechanical test results:

zLOCK was tested for its biomechanical stability and yielded phenomenal results!

Study - 6 specimens were loaded (7.5Nm in each direction – Flexion Extension [F/E], Lateral Bend [LB], Axial Rotation [AR]) in 2 states: intact, then after zLOCK implantation.

The average reduction in motion is comparable to the standard of care (Bi-lateral pedicle screw construct [BPS]), refer to the graph below:

Doctor’s testimonials

Dr. Izzy Lieberman commented:
“The simplicity and minimally invasive nature of the zLOCK system provides a new tool in the surgeon’s offering. For the right patients, zLOCK can provide a great alternative to pedicle screws.”

Why choose zLOCK?

The natural choice for ASC spinal fusion

  • Unique bendable design

    Fits any anatomy, ensuring a personalized and precise fit.

  • Increased efficiency

    Shorter procedure time, quicker turnaround, and fewer tools.

  • Minimally Invasive

    Can be performed as an outpatient procedure with minimal trauma.

  • Safe and effective

    Requires minimum facet joint rimming for safer outcomes.
