Abstract

An interspinous spacer includes a body having a channel and at least one slot; an arm actuator defining a threaded channel; an actuator screw including a shaft with a threaded distal portion partially disposed in the channel of the body and the threaded channel of the arm actuator; a first pin arranged to move along the slot of the body; a second pin; and first and second arms, each having a coupling extension that defines a pin opening and a curved track. The first and second arms are coupled to the body by the second pin extending through the curved tracks and further coupled to the body and the actuator arm by the first pin extending through the pin openings. The first and second arms rotate among different deployment positions according to the curved track in response to longitudinal movement of the actuator arm as the actuator screw is rotated.
