  • Publication number: 20240138884
    Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a body, a securement arm, a clamp lock, and a tensioning assembly. The body defines a longitudinal axis and has proximal and distal portions. The distal portion defines a recess. The securement arm is coupled to the body and translatable along the body in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis between first and second position. The clamp lock is pivotally coupled to the distal portion of the body. The clamp lock is pivotable between secured and unsecured configurations. The tensioning assembly translatable in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis between proximal and distal position. The tensioning assembly configured to draw a flexible band to tension the flexible band about a bony element.

  • Publication number: 20240081875
    Abstract: Example rocker reducer instruments securely engage a receiver that is implanted in a vertebra of the spine and move a spinal fixation element, such as a rod, into a channel formed in the receiver. Example instruments pivot around their contact point with the receiver and a cross-pin or foot feature on the instrument makes contact with the spinal rod and applies a downward force to reduce the rod into the receiver. Further, example instruments can contain a stopping mechanism to limit the amount of compressing force applied to the receiver while maintaining the instrument in a rigid, closed position.

  • Publication number: 20100042149
    Abstract: A pelvic obliquity correction instrument and methods of use are provided. The pelvic obliquity correction instrument includes a first engagement arm for engaging a portion of a spinal fixation system where the first engagement arm is adjustably coupled to a handle assembly. The pelvic obliquity correction instrument also includes a second engagement arm for engaging a second portion of the spinal fixation system. A surgeon exerts force on a first grip at a first end of the handle assembly and a second grip at a second end of the handle assembly to reposition a patient's pelvic bone. The pelvic obliquity correction instrument may provide a surgeon with greater precision, control and torque when rotating a patient's pelvic bone with respect to a superior portion of the patient's spine.
