Abstract:
A rod reducer includes a housing, an anvil, a locking anvil configured to engage a locking plug of a bone screw assembly, an arm assembly, a reducing screw extending through the housing and rotatably coupled with the anvil, and a locking screw extending through the housing and rotatably coupled with the locking anvil. The arm assembly includes an arm hingedly coupled to the housing, and first and second grasping members configured to engage the bone screw assembly. The first and second grasping members are hingedly coupled to the housing and extend through the anvil. Rotation of the reducing screw transitions the arm assembly between an open position, in which, distal portions of the arm and the first and second grasping members are radially expanded, and a closed position, in which, the distal portions of the arm and the first and second grasping members are radially contracted.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for reducing a spinal rod into a bone screw assembly comprising:\n a spinal rod; a bone screw assembly including:\n a rod receiving portion configured to receive the spinal rod; \n a housing including a locking plug transitionable between a locked state, in which, the spinal rod is securely fixed to the rod receiving portion and an unlocked state, in which, the spinal rod is repositionable in the rod receiving portion; and \n a rod reducer including:\n a housing; \n an anvil operatively coupled with the housing, the anvil including a rod positioning member configured to engage the spinal rod; \n a locking anvil configured to engage the locking plug of the bone screw assembly; \n an arm assembly including:\n an arm hingedly coupled to the housing and extending through the anvil; and \n a pair of grasping members configured to engage the bone screw assembly, the pair of grasping members hingedly coupled to the housing and extending through the anvil; \n \n a reducing screw extending through the housing and rotatably coupled with the anvil; and \n a locking screw extending through the housing and rotatably coupled with the locking anvil, wherein rotation of the reducing screw transitions the arm assembly between an open position, in which, distal portions of the arm and the pair of grasping members are radially expanded, and a closed position, in which, the distal portions of the arm and the pair of grasping members are radially contracted.
