Multi-layer osteoinductive, osteogenic, and osteoconductive carrier

A spinal stabilization system for use in a vertebral column of a patient, comprising:

• a multi-layer osteogenic carrier device comprising:
• a delivery layer comprising a porous material and an osteogenic material;
• and
• a support layer in communication with the delivery layer, the support layer capable of substantially conforming to an anatomical feature in the vertebral column of the patient,
• wherein the support layer holds the delivery layer in proximity to the anatomical feature;
• at least one rod;
• at least one rod clip;
• and
• at least one fastener,
• wherein the at least one rod clip comprises:
• a first leg and a second leg that are adapted to attach to the at least one rod;
• a stem having a first side and a second side located opposite the first side, the stem projecting upward from the rod;
• and an arm directly connected to the stem at the second side,
• wherein the first side of the stem is directly connected to each of the first leg and the second leg and is located proximal the rod,
• wherein the fastener passes through the stem from the second side to the first side, and
• wherein the arm is substantially perpendicular to the at least one rod.
