Publication number: 20240164814Abstract: Various multiaxial receivers for receiving at least one tether are disclosed. A multiaxial receiver may include a body having a U-shaped cavity configured to receive a longitudinal rod therein and a lower cavity configured to couple to a pedicle screw. The body may include a first aperture extending through a side surface of the body and defining a first passageway configured to permit a tether to pass therethrough in the horizontal direction. In some embodiments, the body may include a second aperture extending through the side surface of the body and defining a second passageway configured to permit the tether to pass therethrough in the horizontal direction. A set screw may be configured to be rotated from an open position in which the tether is permitted to pass through the first passageway and optionally through the second passageway to a closed position in which the tether is immobilized.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 17, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: Warsaw Orthopedic, Inc.Inventors: Jerald Redmond, Larry McBride, Dimitri Protopsaltis, Mike Sherman, Chris Italiaie, Alan Rezach, Lawrence G.
