Abstract:
A bone anchor receiver is configured for engagement by a tool having opposed receiver-engaging structures formed at a distal end, and includes a receiver body having a base and a pair of upright arms extending upwardly from the base to define an open channel for receiving a rod. The upright arms have interior surfaces and side outer faces opposite the interior surfaces, as well as a tool-engaging aperture formed into the side outer face of each upright arm that is spaced a distance below a top surface of the receiver. The tool-engaging apertures are configured to removably mate with the opposed tool receiver-engaging structures during engagement of the receiver by the distal end of the tool so as to resist inadvertent splay between the opposed tool receiver-engaging structures that would allow the tool distal end to become disengaged from the receiver body.

Claim (Index 1):
A receiver of a bone anchor, the receiver be configured for engagement by a tool having opposed receiver-engaging structures formed at a distal end thereof and for accepting a rod that is locked into the receiver via a closure top, the receiver comprising:\n a receiver body having a center longitudinal axis, a base, and a pair of upright arms extending upwardly from the base to define an open channel for receiving the rod, the open channel opening through front and back outer faces of the receiver body, the upright arms having opposed interior surfaces mateable with the closure top to securely lock the rod within the open channel, side outer faces opposite the interior surfaces, and top surfaces defining a top of the receiver body; and a tool-engaging aperture formed into the side outer face of each upright arm and spaced a distance below the top surface, the tool-engaging apertures being complementary with the opposed tool receiver-engaging structures and configured to removably receive the opposed tool receiver-engaging structures during engagement of the receiver by the distal end of the tool, wherein the tool-engaging apertures include a mating feature configured to removably mate with the opposed tool receiver-engaging structures so as to resist inadvertent splay between the opposed tool receiver-engaging structures that would allow the tool distal end to become disengaged from the receiver body.
