发明名称 ARRANGEMENT COMPRISING A CERVICAL PROSTHESIS AND AN INSERTION INSTRUMENT
摘要 The invention relates to an arrangement of a multi-part in-tervertebral endoprosthesis (9), which has a top closure plate and bottom closure plate (91, 92) and, between these, a sliding core (93), each closure plate (91, 92) being assigned a pair of receiving openings (96, 97) or projections, and of an insertion instrument (1), which has a handgrip area (21, 31) and a gripping area (22, 32) with retention projections (51, 52) or openings which, in order to hold the interverte-bral endoprosthesis (9) on the insertion instrument (1), can be engaged in the receiving openings or projections. Accord-ing to the invention, the receiving openings (96, 97) are ar-ranged in lateral side faces of the intervertebral endopros-thesis (9), and at least the pair of receiving openings (96) assigned to one of the closure plates (92) has a shape ex-tended in the direction toward the other closure plate (91). In this way, without making changes to the insertion instru-ment (1), intervertebral endoprostheses (9) of different thicknesses can be held securely and with the guarantee that they are the correct way round.
