Abstract

An interspinous spacer includes an actuator screw having a proximal end and a shaped cavity in the proximal end, where the shaped cavity is configured for receiving a bit of a driver tool having a complementary shape for rotating the actuator screw using the driver tool; a wedge coupled to the actuator screw, wherein, as the actuator screw is rotated using the driver tool, the actuator screw and the wedge move longitudinally relative to the body; and a first arm and a second arm, wherein the first and second arms are rotatably coupled to the distal portion of the body and configured for rotating in response to longitudinal movement of the wedge. The interspinous spacer may include locking inserts or a locking ring to resist rotation of the actuator screw absent the driver tool.
