A device comprising a spinal implant, wherein the device comprises:
- (a) the spinal implant, wherein the spinal implant comprises a proximal end, a distal end, a body comprising a plurality of struts extending between the proximal end and the distal end, and a rod extending from the proximal end to the distal end of the spinal implant, and wherein the spinal implant is configured to transition from a first state comprising a first height, a first width, and a first length, to a second state comprising a second height, a second width, and a second length;
- (b) a shaft comprising a proximal end, a distal end, wherein the distal end of the shaft is reversibly coupled to the proximal end of the spinal implant;
- (c) an actuator coupled to the spinal implant via the shaft, wherein the actuator is configured to transition the spinal implant from the first state to the second state upon activation;
- and
- (d) an indicator for identifying a property of the spinal implant in the second state.
