Abstract:
A tool set for implanting a rod in a human spine in conjunction with bone screws.

Claim (Index 1):
An elongate guide tool for use with a spinal bone screw, the bone screw including a receiver forming a channel and having a bone screw attachment structure, the guide tool being non-threadably reversibly attachable to the bone screw attachment structure for guiding a rod into the channel of the receiver, the guide tool comprising:\n a) a body with a longitudinally extending through-bore extending from a top opening to a bottom opening of the body, the body defining a longitudinal axis of the elongate guide tool; b) a laterally extending pass-through slot extending upwardly from the bottom opening and joined with the through-bore, the pass-through slot defining a pair of spaced opposed legs and being sized and shaped so as to receive the rod therethrough, the pass-through slot being alignable with the channel of the bone screw receiver; and c) an inwardly projecting attachment structure near the bottom opening sized and shaped to cooperatively engage and rotatably mate with the bone screw attachment structure to secure the guide tool to the bone screw; wherein the inwardly projecting attachment structure includes at least one outer sloped surface that is sloped relative to the longitudinal axis of the elongate guide tool so as to non-threadably attach to the receiver by rotation around the longitudinal axis of the tool.
