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

Claim (Index 1):
An elongate guide tool in combination with a spinal bone screw implant implant, the guide tool being reversibly attachable to the bone screw for guiding a rod into a receiver of the bone screw, the guide tool comprising:\n a) a body with a longitudinally extending through-bore extending from a top opening to a bottom opening, the through-bore being sized and shaped for receiving a closure top therethrough; 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 a U-shaped channel of the bone screw receiver; and c) a first inwardly projecting attachment structure near the bottom opening that is sized and shaped to cooperatively engage a second attachment structure of the bone screw receiver when the guide tool is secured to the bone screw, wherein the second attachment structure is a radiused horizontal groove circumferentially located on an exterior of the receiver; wherein d) when the pass-through slot and the U-shaped channel are aligned, the rod is transferable from the guide tool to the bone screw.
