More Information
Summary:A spinal cross-connector for connecting two stabilization rods installed in a patient's spine is provided. The cross-connector includes novel rod attachment elements dynamically connected together by connector elements. The cross-connector provides multi-dimensional adjustability for easy and accurate installation with full lock-down. L'invention concerne un dispositif d'interconnexion vertébral pour connecter deux tiges de stabilisation installées dans la colonne vertébrale d'un patient. Le dispositif d'interconnexion comprend de nouveaux éléments de fixation de tige reliés de façon dynamique par des éléments connecteurs. Le dispositif d'interconnexion offre un ajustement multidimensionnel dont l'installation est aisée et précise et le verrouillage complet.
