The present invention is directed to an impact-absorbing member for use with an implant insertion instrument and the placement of an implant in a recipient's body. Preferably, the implant is a spinal implant for insertion into the intervertebral space. The impact-absorbing member may be attached to the implant insertion instrument, the implant, or both. The impact-absorbing member reduces the impact forces on the implant during placement.
