A surgical instrument includes a first arm engageable with a first spinal construct disposed with a first vertebral surface. A second arm is connected with the first arm via a pivot and being engageable with a second spinal construct disposed with a second vertebral surface. The first arm is movable to rotate the first spinal construct relative to the pivot and/or the second arm is movable to rotate the second spinal construct relative to the pivot such that the first vertebral surface is moved relative to the second vertebral surface. Systems and methods of use are disclosed.

Surgical instrument and method

Provided are methods, devices, and systems that can be used to deploy prosthetic devices within a bodily lumen of a patient. These methods and devices can include the securement of a prosthetic valve within a vascular lumen by driving one or more fasteners from a position on an expandable device through the valve and into or through a vascular wall.

Methods and devices for the endoluminal deployment and securement of prostheses

The present application is directed to set screws used with fasteners to capture and engage an elongated member. The set screws include a body sized to attach to a receiver of the fastener. A deformable member may be attached to an end of the set screw and provides for the set screw to more fully engage the elongated member to prevent potential damage to the elongated member and prevent the set screw from backing out of the fastener. In one embodiment, just the deformable member contacts the elongated member. In another embodiment, the deformable member and the body contact the elongated member. In yet another embodiment, a contact member is attached to the deformable member to contact against the elongated member.
