Vertebral Implant Containment Device and Methods of Use

A device for insertion between vertebral members in a patient, the device comprising:

• first and second end members each including a first side and an opposing second side;
• an enclosure member that extends around each of the first and second end members and forms an enclosed interior volume between the end members;
• engagement features positioned on the second sides of the first and second end members and being configured to receive a tool, the engagement features being surrounded by the enclosure member and exposed in the interior volume;
• an opening in the enclosure member that extends into the interior volume, the opening positioned between the first and second end members and in proximity to the engagement features;
• the enclosure member positionable between a first orientation with the engagement features of the first and second end members in closer proximity and the interior volume being smaller, and a second orientation with the engagement features of the first and second end members spaced a farther distance apart and the interior volume being larger.

A device for insertion between vertebral members in a patient, the device comprising:

• first and second end members each including a first side configured to contact one of the vertebral members and an opposing second side;
• an anchor recess that extends into the second side of the first end member, the anchor recess including a narrow inlet at the second side that leads into an enlarged section positioned away from the second side;
• a flexible enclosure member that is attached to the second sides of each of the first and second end members and forms an enclosed interior volume between the end members;
• the enclosure member positionable between a first orientation with the first and second end members in closer proximity and the interior volume being smaller, and a second orientation with the first and second end members spaced a farther distance apart and the interior volume being larger;
• the enclosure member positioned away from the enlarged section of the anchor recess in the first orientation and positioned within the enlarged section of the anchor recess in the second orientation.
