International Classification:

A61B 17/70

Abstract:

A compressor/distractor instrument that provides internal set screw engagement for threaded reduction capabilities while also providing bending support of the screw extenders during compression or distractor manipulation. Threaded reduction is performed by engaging compressor/distractor support tubes at the proximal end with a compressor/distractor driver. A removable locking pull pin secures the left and right handles of the compressor/distractor driver together during use, and removal of the pin releases the compression and tension built up in the device for ease of removal.
