Abstract
A crosslink member is provided for connecting a pair of surgical support rods in spaced, typically parallel relation. A first connector has a first recess, typically a bore, for receiving and retaining one of the pair of support rods, while a second connector has a second recess that may also be a bore, and which receives and retains the other of the support rods. The first connector is permanently attached to a crosslink rod that extends from the first connector to the second connector. The second connector has a third recess for receiving and retaining a portion of a crosslink rod. Retainers, such as set screws, are used to hold the two connectors of the crosslink member and the support rods together in a desired position. The third recess is closed by a cap with an interengaging sliding rail system.
