Abstract

An insertion tool (100) for positioning intervertebral spacers into disc spaces. The insertion tool has a proximal end (102) and a distal end (104), a T-handle (106) secured to the proximal end (102) and a pair of alignment rails extending from the distal end (104). The insertion tool (100) includes a handle secured to the proximal end of the guide rails (116A, 116B), and a shaft (110) that extends through the handle, whereby the shaft has a threaded portion that extends to the T-handle (106). The insertion tool (100) also includes a blocker (118) that is secured to the distal end of the shaft (110). The blocker (118) includes stop arms that guide the blocker (118) through the guide rails (116A, 116B) and toward the distal end of the shaft. The blocker (118) may be provided in a plurality of different sizes corresponding to the sizes of the implants to be inserted into a disc space. A lock (108) is provided for locking the implant to the shaft (110).

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS received by the International Bureau on 30 January 2009 (30.01.2009)
1. An intervertebral implant insertion instrument comprising: a first handle having a first end and a second end; a second handle located towards the first end and connected to the first handle; a pair of rails attached to the second end of the first handle; a shaft threadably engaging the first handle, the shaft having a third end and a fourth end; a blocker attached to the fourth end of the shaft, the blocker being adapted to accept an intervertebral implant, such that when the intervertebral implant is advanced towards the vertebrae the rails do not contact the intervertebral implant.
2. The instrument of claim 1, further comprising: a lock configured to secure the intervertebral implant to the shaft when the lock is in a locking position.
3. The instrument of claim 2, further comprising: a shaft button adapted to engage or disengage the second handle from the shaft and having a disengaged position wherein the first handle is configured to be advanced in either direction along the shaft.
4. The instrument of claim 3, further comprising: an adjustment knob configured to locate the blocker at a pre-selected offset distance.
5. The instrument of claim 4, further comprising: an offset adjustment element connected to the adjustment knob and configured so that operation of the adjustment knob moves the offset adjustment element between proximal and distal ends of the blocker.
6. The instrument of claim 5, wherein the blocker is selected from a set of blockers each having a different height.
7. The instrument of claim 6, wherein the height of the blocker corresponds to a height of the intervertebral implant .
8. The instrument of claim 1, wherein a slot is formed in each of the rails.
9. The instrument of claim 8, wherein the blocker includes at lest one stop arm projecting through the slot and capable of sliding in the slot, thereby guiding the movement of the blocker in proximal-distal direction.
10. The instrument of claim 8, wherein each rail includes a vertebral body stopper that prevents over- insertion of the rails into the space between two vertebrae .
11. The instrument of claim 2, wherein the lock is automatically moved to an unlocked position when the first handle is moved towards the second handle, thereby releasing the intervertebral implant from the blocker.
12. The instrument of claim 11, wherein the blocker includes a spring collet having a- plurality of fingers, and the lock includes a locking shaft, the plurality of fingers being adapted
19 to flex away from each other when the locking shaft is advanced into the collet.
13. The instrument of claim 12, wherein the spring collet is adapted for insertion into an opening provided in the intervertebral implant .
14. A method of implanting an intervertebral implant comprising the steps of : inserting a distal end of an intervertebral implant insertion instrument between two vertebrae, the implant insertion instrument including a first handle and a second handle; attaching a blocker to the implant insertion instrument; attaching an intervertebral implant to the blocker, the intervertebral implant having a top surface and a bottom surface; and sliding the intervertebral implant along a guide path on the implant insertion instrument and between the vertebrae without either the top surface or the bottom surface of the intervertebral implant being contacted by the implant insertion instrument .
15. • The method of claim 14, further comprising the step of: moving the first handle toward to the second handle in order to automatically disengage the implant insertion instrument from the intervertebral implant .
16. The method of claim 14, further comprising the step of:
20 selecting a height of the blocker that corresponds to the height of the intervertebral implant .
17. The method of claim 14, wherein the guide path is formed by a pair of rails attached to the first handle.
18. The method of claim 14, wherein the blocker is attached to the intervertebral implant by inserting a spring collet having a plurality of fingers into an opening provided in the intervertebral implant, and opening the fingers.
19. An intervertebral implant insertion instrument comprising: a first handle having a first end and a second end; a second handle located towards the first end and connected to the first handle; a pair of rails attached to the second end of the first handle; a shaft threadably engaging the first handle, the shaft having a third end and a fourth end; a blocker attached to the fourth end of the shaft, the blocker being adapted to accept an intervertebral implant, such that when the intervertebral implant is advanced towards the vertebrae the rails do not contact the intervertebral implant; and an adjustment knob configured to locate the blocker at a pre-selected offset distance.
20. An intervertebral implant insertion instrument comprising: a first handle having a first end and a second end;
21 a second handle located towards the first end and connected to the first handle; a pair of rails attached to the second end of the first handle; a shaft threadably engaging the first handle, the shaft having a third end and a fourth end; a blocker attached to the fourth end of the shaft, the blocker being adapted to accept an intervertebral implant, such that when the intervertebral implant is advanced towards the vertebrae the rails do not contact the intervertebral implant; and a lock configured to secure the intervertebral implant to the shaft when the lock is in a locking position; wherein the lock is automatically moved to an unlocked position when the first handle is moved towards the second handle, thereby releasing the intervertebral implant from the blocker .
