Abstract
A device for connection to a component used in association with spinal instrumentation, including a connector body, at least one clamp element, and at least one fixation element. The connector body defines a receptacle extending therethrough and opening onto an outer surface thereof. The connector body also defines a passage in transverse communication with the receptacle. The clamp element includes at least two arm portions defining a space therebetween having an open end. The clamp element is positioned within the passage in the connector body with the space between the arm portions generally aligned with the receptacle and with the component received through the open end and retained within the space. The fixation element interacts with the clamp element to displace the clamp element relative to the connector body to position at least a portion of the component within the receptacle.
