A loading station for loading an implant into an insertion device comprises two holders. Each holder is adapted to receive an endplate of the implant, e.g., in a slot of the holder. The loading station may include a distraction block that is disposed on or integrated within one of the holders. The distraction block is adapted to receive the distal ends of the blades of the insertion device, and maintain the insertion device in a particular position. The distraction block is configured to distract the blades from each other, so that the user may insert the implant into the insertion device. Alternatively, each holder of the loading station may have recess guides to receive the blades of the insertion device, and separate the blades from each other as the insertion device is pushed towards the loading station. |
