Inserter for spinal fusion implant

An inserter for inserting a spinal fusion implant, the inserter comprising:

• a housing having a proximal member and a housing shaft extending distally therefrom;
• an inner shaft having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein the inner shaft is configured to be disposed at least partially within the housing shaft and translate relative to the housing shaft and the distal end is configured to releasably engage a spinal fusion implant;
• a thumbwheel positioned partially within the proximal member of the housing and rotatably fixed to the proximal end of the inner shaft, wherein the thumbwheel is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the inserter and cause the inner shaft to rotate;
• a lock positioned at a proximal end of the housing, wherein the lock is configured to receive the proximal end of the inner shaft and configured to move between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein in the locked position, the inner shaft is rotatably fixed to the thumbwheel, and in the unlocked position, the inner shaft and the thumbwheel are separable from one another;
• and
• a soft stop configured to provide one or more of audible and or tactile feedback to a user to indicate that the spinal fusion implant is fully disengaged from the distal end of the inner shaft, wherein the soft stop comprises a body, a slider body comprising a threaded aperture configured to threadedly engage threads on the body, a biasing member proximal to the slider body, and a biasing member distal to the slider body.
