An oil extraction apparatus for extracting oil from the oil pan of a vehicle is provided. The oil extraction apparatus includes a pump assembly operationally coupled to a power source of a vehicle. An inlet port assembly operationally coupled to the pump assembly. The inlet port assembly is in fluid communication with an oil pan of the vehicle. The pump assembly is for drawing oil from the oil pan of the vehicle through the inlet port assembly when the pump assembly is actuated. An outlet port assembly operationally coupled to the pump assembly. The outlet port assembly is in fluid communication with a disposal container. The pump assembly is for forcing oil drawn through the inlet port assembly through the outlet port assembly to be deposited in the disposal container for disposal of the oil.

A rod reduction instrument for position a rod relative to a seat of a bone anchor in a spinal implant system is provided. The instrument includes three concentric cannulas with circumferentially aligned rod receiving portions formed therein. One cannula is movable with respect to another to lock and unlock the seat of a bone anchor to the rod reduction instrument. The rod to be reduced is positioned inside at least one of the rod receiving portion. One cannula is moved with respect to another to lock the seat of the bone anchor to the rod reduction instrument. Once locked to the bone anchor, the remaining cannula is moved to reduce the distance between the rod and the seat within at least one of the rod receiving portions. The distance between the rod and the seat is reduced until the rod is position inside the seat. A secondary instrument is inserted through a central bore of the rod reduction instrument to introduce a cap and lock the cap to the seat securing the rod to the bone anchor.

A plurality of individual tools is provided where each tool is uniquely configured to perform a step or a portion of a step in a novel procedure associated with the implantation of a stabilizing device (e. g. , an interspinous spacer) for stabilizing at least one spinal motion segment. The tools are usable individually, or more preferably as a tooling system in which the tools are collectively employed to implant an interspinous spacer, generally in a minimally invasive manner. For example, each of the tools is arranged with coordinated markings and/or other features to ensure consistent depths of insertion, proper orientation of the tools with respect to each other or an anatomical feature of the patient, and precise delivery of the spacer to maintain safe positioning throughout the implantation procedure.

A scraper instrument for preparing an intervertebral disc space is disclosed. The scraper instrument incorporates a uniquely configured end bit having a cutting head with a cavity for passing debris therethrough. Variations of the scraper instrument include one or more angled portions and shaft assemblies that transmit rotational torque applied at the proximal end of the instrument through the at least one angled portion and to the distally located end bit. An adjustable angled portion in addition to a bayonet-like angled portion is disclosed.

A dynamic device for implantation within a disc space between two adjacent vertebral bodies is disclosed. The device comprises two or more bodies interconnected via at least one connecting means such that at least one body is permitted relative motion with respect to the at least one other body. The device is configured to assume various configurations including a first configuration suitable for minimally invasive insertion and a second configuration suitable for residence within the disc space. Associated variations and insertion instruments are also disclosed.
