Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022079565A1] Apparatus, consisting of a hinge (84) defining a hinge axis (88), and a pair of opposing jaws (80A,80B), including a movable jaw and a fixed jaw having a predetermined part radiopaque, so that the fixed jaw location is identifiable from a fluoroscopic image of the fixed jaw. The opposing jaws terminate at proximal and distal regions, and the proximal regions are connected to the hinge so that the movable jaw rotates about the hinge between a closed state and an open state. The jaws are curved in planes parallel to the hinge axis, and terminate in narrowed ends at the distal regions, so that in the closed state the jaws grip sections of vertebrae. The apparatus also has a support structure (60) that retains the hinge and the pair of opposing jaws, and a multiplicity of sharp teeth (98) disposed on respective inner surfaces of the opposing jaws.
