Abstract

See full text

An inserter for implanting a spinal implant such as an intervertebral spacer into a spinal disc space is disclosed. The inserter comprises a jaw assembly connected to a shaft assembly that is connected to a handle assembly. The shaft assembly includes an angled portion in which the distal end of the instrument is displaced from the proximal end of the instrument affording the clinician a more unobstructed view of the operative site. The user operates the handle assembly at the proximal end to open and close the jaw assembly to thereby connect to and release from the intervertebral spacer.
