    Sequoia final driver closure top retention, non-sterile, REF 3384-2, Zimmer Spine, Austin, Texas, The device is used to apply final torque to closure tops of the implant. The Sequoia Final Driver is used in conjunction with a counter torque tube to apply final torque to closure tops that secure the rod component to the screw head component until the torque limiting handle pops once, indicating the implant has been locked. This process is repeated with all closure tops in a construct (assembly). The Sequoia Final Driver is also used to tighten the set screw feature and lateral locking cams on the SpeedLinkII transverse connectors when used and is used to remove previously inserted closure tops during construct removal.

    A rounded or partially rounded tip on the screwdriver may not provide the required locking torque to lock the closure top to the polyaxial screw. When the hex tip of the screwdriver is not fully engaged and/or the screwdriver is used off axis, the hex tip of the screwdriver can become rounded or partially rounded.
