Spinal Procedures

Function: The instruments act as rod compressors and distractors, which are used to manipulate, align, and stabilize vertebrae during spine surgeries.
Design: These are "parallel" instruments, meaning they keep rods parallel while applying compressive or distracting forces.
Components: The image displays a compressor/distractor tool along with its necessary assembly components, such as screws and linkage arms.
Application: They are often utilized in minimally invasive surgeries, such as treating vertebral fractures or facilitating spinal fusion.
