An implantable component of a bone-screw internal spinal fixation system in the form of a thin cylinder intended to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments in the treatment of various spinal instabilities or deformities, and also used as an adjunct to spinal fusion [e.g., for degenerative disc disease (DDD)].
