Claims17
A graft inserter system comprising:
- a spinal implant adapted to be inserted into an intervertebral space and having a central axis transverse to a planar anterior surface of the spinal implant;
- and
- an inserter including a shaft having a through-hole and defining a longitudinal axis and a distal engagement portion at a distal end of the shaft, the distal engagement portion having a first projection configured to be mated to the spinal implant such that the shaft longitudinal axis is at an angle relative to the central axis of the spinal implant,
- wherein the first projection is positioned laterally from the through-hole.

A graft inserter system comprising:
- an expandable spinal implant adapted to be inserted into an intervertebral space in a collapsed position and expanded to an expanded position, the spinal implant having a central axis transverse to a planar anterior surface of the spinal implant;
- and
- an inserter including a shaft having a through-hole and defining a longitudinal axis, a funnel at a proximal end of the shaft and adapted to receive graft material therein, and a distal engagement portion at a distal end of the shaft and having a first projection configured to be inserted into the spinal implant such that the shaft longitudinal axis is at an angle relative to the central axis of the spinal implant;
- and
- a plunger adapted to be received in the shaft through-hole for delivering the graft material to the spinal implant.
