Abstract

A spinal plate bender includes an actuation assembly, a collet, and a head portion. The actuation assembly includes a housing, a lever pivotably coupled to the housing, a linkage pivotably coupled to the lever, and an actuation shaft operatively coupled with the linkage. The lever is transitionable between a neutral position and an actuated position, which imparts axial displacement to the actuation shaft. The collet includes a proximal section, a sleeve section extending distally from the proximal section, and a coupling section extending distally from the sleeve section. The head portion is configured to support a spinal plate. The head portion includes an anvil portion coupled to a distal end portion of the actuation shaft. The anvil portion is configured to engage a spinal plate to cause bending of a spinal plate supported in the head portion.
