Claims25
An interbody spacer, comprising:
- a first endplate;
- a second endplate;
- and
- a coupling member coupled to and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate, wherein the coupling member comprises:
- at least two lateral members;
- and
- at least one gap formed between every two adjacent lateral members of the at least two lateral members;
- and
- a through hole extending through the first endplate, the coupling member, and the second endplate.

An interbody spacer, comprising:
- a first endplate;
- a second endplate;
- a coupling member coupled to and extending between the first endplate and the second endplate, wherein the coupling member comprises:
- a posterior member extending between the first endplate and the second endplate;
- at least one first longitudinal member extending from the first endplate on an anterior side of the interbody spacer;
- and
- at least one second longitudinal member extending from the second endplate on an anterior side of the interbody spacer;
- and
- a through hole extending from a superior surface of the first endplate, through the coupling member, to an inferior surface of the second endplate.
6 more elements
An interbody spacer, comprising:
- a first cage, comprising:
- a first endplate;
- a second endplate with a first portion of a connecting feature positioned on an inferior surface of the second endplate;
- and
- at least one connecting member extending between and coupled to the first endplate on a first end and the second endplate on a second end;
- and
- a second cage, comprising:
- a third endplate;
- a fourth endplate with a second portion of the connecting feature positioned on a superior surface of the fourth endplate;
- and
- at least one connecting member extending between and coupled to the third endplate on a first end and the fourth endplate on a second end;
- wherein the first portion of the connecting feature couples to the second portion of the connecting feature to secure the first cage to the second cage.
9 more elements
A method for using an interbody spacer, comprising:
- obtaining the interbody spacer comprising:
- a first cage;
- a second cage;
- and
- at least one intermediate cage, wherein the at least one intermediate cage may be coupled to the first cage on a first end and the second cage on a second end;
- and
- wherein the interbody spacer comprises a through hole extending through the first cage, the at least one intermediate cage, and the second cage;
- inserting the first cage and second cage into a patient between two vertebral bodies;
- and
- inserting the at least one intermediate cage between the first cage and the second cage.
