Orthopaedic counter-torque/rod-pushing instrument

986 devices · GMDN 47554

Orthopaedic counter-torque/rod-pushing instruments are manual, hand-held tools used during spinal or bone surgery to counteract rotational forces when securing screws or set screws. They also help seat orthopaedic rods into slotted screw heads, ensuring proper alignment and stability in procedures like spinal fixation.

These instruments are typically reusable, made from durable materials like stainless steel or titanium, and are designed for single-use surgical applications. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their surgical purpose and risk level, not as a category but per individual device.
