Provided is a spinal fixation device, which includes a cage which is placed between adjacent vertebrae to form a gap between the vertebrae, a middle plate which is detachably coupled to the cage, and deployment plates which are hinge-pivotably coupled to the middle plate at one side end, thereby stably fixing the cage in a correct position between the vertebrae.

Spinal fixation device

A screw anchor assembly used in pedicle screw fixation is provided. The screw anchor assembly includes a screw having screw threads defined on a circumferential surface, and a screw anchor having a first end and a second end, an accommodating part defined by anchor screw threads on an inner surface of the screw anchor and having one end to receive the screw, and a locking step extended in a circumferential direction from the first end of the screw anchor. The accommodating part flexibly extends when the screw is screw-coupled to the screw anchor.

Medical insertion apparatus

A rod connector used in screw fixation to connect different rods includes a latch element including a latch section which is fitted to a first rod and a pass-through section having a through-hole, a support element including an up/down movement section which moves up and down through the through-hole and a support section which is a head part of the up/down movement section and has a support groove to support a second rod, and a fixing screw which approaches the up/down movement section through a screw hole formed in oblique direction within the latch element and presses the up/down movement section directly or indirectly, to fix the support element at a predetermined height.

Rod connector

The present invention relates to a C-arm head cover. The C-arm head cover according to the present invention comprises: a fixed unit which includes a fixing means, and is capable of being fixed to a predetermined object; a first cover which extends from the fixed unit, and has a foldable structure; and a second cover which extends from the first cover, and is bent downward, wherein when the C-arm head rotates 180 degrees from an upright position around a C-arm table for supporting a person to be processed with radiography, the foldable structure of the first cover is unfolded, and then only the first cover or both the first cover and the second cover covers the C-arm head.

C-arm head cover

A fixing apparatus for cervical vertebrae in which in which a fixing plate is made to be in proximity with cervical vertebrae and screws are inserted into the cervical vertebrae through screw holes formed in the fixing plate, includes an opening and closing member that opens and closes the screw holes while being moved between a closing position for covering the screw holes and an opening position for opening the screw hole on the fixing plate.
