摘要: Various rod-to-rod connectors having robust rod closure mechanisms and related methods are disclosed herein, e.g., for enhancing the locking or clamping force on a rod. An exemplary connector can provide mechanism connections in which run length of slot is minimal. The include moveable jaw that partially disposed within body configured to pivot translate relative form fully substantially closed around first be formed between rod-receiving recess defined counterpart jaw. amplified by mechanical advantage caused exerted lock second body.
