Orthopaedic implant/instrument adaptor

Intended purpose

A connecting device designed to join an orthopedic implant to a surgical instrument, or a surgical instrument to another instrument, typically to create an extension for removal of the implant (e.g., during a percutaneous interspinous distraction procedure for the removal of a distraction sleeve), or to connect two devices with incompatible interfaces. It is typically made from high-grade stainless steel and/or synthetic material and is available in a variety of sizes and lengths. This is a reusable device.
