What is ZLIF?

ZIP Interspinous/Interlaminar Minimally Invasive Spinal Implants used in conjunction with expandable anterior Interbody Spacer implants during spinal fusion surgery

Benefits to my patients:

• No need for pedicle screws to compress with anterior expandable cages

• Zip provides strong posterior stabilization without muscle dissection

• Minimally invasive

• Less operative time and blood loss

• Less pain

• Faster recovery compared to traditional pedicle screw fixation
