Abstract
A spinal implant system includes a spinal implant template configured to provide three dimensional coordinates of a selected implant configuration. An implant bending device includes work surfaces engageable with a spinal implant to manipulate the spinal implant to the selected implant configuration and an implant contact sensor. Surgical instruments, spinal constructs, implants and methods are disclosed.
Claims20
A spinal implant system comprising:
- a spinal implant template configured to provide three dimensional coordinates of a selected implant configuration:
- and
- an implant bending device including work surfaces engageable with a spinal implant to manipulate the spinal implant to the selected implant configuration and an implant contact sensor.
A spinal implant system comprising:
- a control device including a spinal implant template configured to provide three dimensional coordinates of a selected implant configuration;
- a displacement module that communicates with the control device and includes a movable support connectable with a spinal implant;
- and
- a bending module that communicates with the control device and includes an implant bending device having work surfaces engageable with the spinal implant to manipulate the spinal implant to the selected implant configuration and an implant contact sensor.

A spinal implant system comprising:
- a spinal implant template configured to provide three dimensional coordinates of a selected implant configuration;
- an implant bending device including work surfaces engageable with a spinal implant to manipulate the spinal implant to the selected implant configuration;
- and
- an engagement detector including a sensor connected with the work surfaces and configured to detect contact of at least one of the work surfaces with the spinal implant, and a plurality of discs defining openings, the discs being connected with the work surfaces and the openings being relatively movable for alignment such that a medium passing through the openings is detectable by the sensor.
