Abstract

A spinal rod connector is adapted to connect two spinal rods. The spinal rod connector includes first and second channels which are defined in a housing. The first and second channels can be urged together in order to capture first and second spinal rods when a fastener is actuated. The spinal rod connector allows the first and second rods to be positioned relative to each other in one of a parallel and a non-parallel manner prior to the fastener locking the first and second spinal rods in position.
