A bone-screw internal spinal fixation rod is a thin, implantable cylinder used to connect screws or hooks in the spine, providing stability and support during surgery for spinal instability or deformities. It helps maintain proper spinal alignment, often as part of a fusion procedure, and may be rigid or flexible to accommodate slight spinal movement.
These rods are typically classified as surgical implants and regulated under medical device laws, with requirements varying by country. They are usually supplied sterile and intended for single-use, though some systems may allow modular adjustments. Availability depends on local healthcare regulations and surgical needs.
