DEVICES AND METHODS FOR INSERTING SPINAL IMPLANTS

摘要

An implant inserter (20) is releasably engageable to an implant (300) to facilitate placement of the implant (300) in a minimally invasive approach to space between adjacent spinous processes (400, 402.) The implant inserter (20) can engage the implant (300) in a first configuration for insertion and thereafter remotely release the implant (300) for engagement with the spinous processes (400, 402) in the patient.
