Abstract: A rod reducer assembly is provided. The rod reducer includes a pedicle screw housing defining a rod-receiving passage therethrough. A tab is removably coupled to the pedicle screw housing by a frangible member. An extension is secured to the tab. The extension and the tab are separable from the pedicle screw housing upon application of a threshold force to the frangible member.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to filtration container assemblies and methods of using the same. A filtration container assembly includes an outer container and a plunging assembly. The plunging assembly includes an inner sleeve, a filtration assembly, and a cap assembly having a pressing surface. When the outer container is at least partially filled with liquid, a user can exert pressure on the pressing surface of the plunging assembly to nest the plunging assembly within the outer container, using positive pressure to displace the liquid in the outer container through the filtration assembly into the inner sleeve. In some embodiments, at least a portion of a handle for the filtration container assembly may be a part of the pressing surface.

Abstract: A self-back flushing filtration assembly includes an inner container, an outer container, and a filter cartridge. The inner container is configured to receive treated water by way of a filter cartridge. The outer container is configured to hold untreated water and sleeve the filter cartridge and the inner container. The inner container and the filter cartridge are moveably positioned within the outer container to compress and draw the untreated water through filter media within the filter cartridge by way of a filter cap. The filter cap is movably positioned within a cavity of the outer container to draw treated water from the inner container through the filter media of the filter cartridge.

Abstract: A rod reducer assembly is provided and is selectively mountable to a pedicle screw assembly. The pedicle screw assembly includes a pedicle screw housing that defines a rod-receiving recess. The pedicle screw assembly includes an extension assembly that is coupled to the pedicle screw housing by a frangible member. The rod reducer is configured to reduce a spinal rod into the rod-receiving recess of the pedicle screw assembly. The rod reducer assembly may include a derotation sleeve configured to inhibit the frangible member from breaking while manipulating a spinal bone.

Abstract: A spinal rod reduction apparatus including an elongated body member, a pair of arms extending distally from the elongated body member, and first and second elongated slots defined between the pair of arms. The first and second elongated slots are configured to receive a spinal rod therethrough. The first elongated slot is positioned in opposed relation to the second elongated slot and is longer than the second elongated slot.
