Abstract
The implant kit for stabilizing regions of a spine employs a plurality of fixing bands which are at least similar to one another and stabilizing elements which are adapted to be secured to the bands. Each fixing band is provided with bores at the opposite ends for securement to a spondyle as well as trough-like recesses in an intermediate portion for receiving the stabilizing elements and/or a correcting instrument. The components can be used for all regions of a spine.
