The Cross Connector Spine is a titanium spinal fixation component designed for use within compatible posterior spinal instrumentation systems according to the manufacturer’s approved indications and surgical technique.
The component functions as a transverse connection element between compatible longitudinal members of a spinal fixation construct. Its bridge-style geometry incorporates bilateral rod-engagement sections connected through a central adjustable / connecting body, allowing integration into a compatible posterior spinal assembly.
According to the supplied catalog information, the product is manufactured from:
Material: Titanium
The product family is listed under:
Cat. No.: AMS 500.035.000
The Cross Connector Spine is available in two listed configurations:
Small / Large
These options provide different implant choices according to factors such as posterior construct geometry, rod spacing, spinal level, component positioning, and intraoperative requirements.
Each configuration carries a dedicated Cat. No. and GTIN No., supporting accurate implant identification, product traceability, surgical set preparation, procurement, inventory management, and stock control.
Product Explanation
The Cross Connector Spine is a mechanical spinal fixation component used to provide a transverse connection between compatible elements of a posterior spinal construct.
A simplified construct can be represented as:
Longitudinal Rod → Cross Connector → Opposite Longitudinal Rod → Posterior Spinal Fixation Construct
The connector is positioned between compatible spinal rods and secured according to the system’s locking mechanism and approved surgical technique.
Product Components and Design
- Titanium Connector Body
The main structural component is manufactured from Titanium, according to the supplied product data.
It forms the bridge between the two rod-engagement sections.
- Bilateral Rod Connection Interfaces
Both ends of the component incorporate connection areas intended to engage compatible spinal rods or associated fixation elements.
The supplied data does not specify the compatible rod diameter.
- Central Connecting / Adjustment Section
The product image shows a central overlapping or adjustable bridge section.
This configuration may provide accommodation for construct geometry, but the exact adjustment range is not specified in the catalog.
- Locking / Fastening Elements
Multiple fastening elements are visible on the connector body.
The exact locking mechanism, thread specification, and recommended tightening torque are not included in the supplied data.
- Size Configurations
The catalog lists:
- Small
- Large
providing two product configurations.
Intended Use
The Cross Connector Spine is intended for use within compatible posterior spinal fixation systems, according to the manufacturer’s approved indications and Instructions for Use.
Potential applications, when included within the approved indications, may include:
- Posterior spinal stabilization constructs.
- Cross-linking of compatible spinal rods.
- Multi-component spinal fixation assemblies.
- Thoracic or lumbar posterior instrumentation where compatible with the system.
- Spinal deformity correction constructs.
- Spinal reconstruction procedures.
Selection of the appropriate connector size depends on:
- Posterior construct geometry.
- Distance between longitudinal rods.
- Rod compatibility.
- Fixation level.
- Component positioning.
- Available surgical space.
- Preoperative planning.
- Intraoperative assessment.
The component should be selected and installed by a qualified spine surgeon according to the approved surgical technique and IFU.
