OSTEOGENIC PACKING DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

An osteogenic material packing device (100) is used to pack osteogenic material (3102) onto a spinal fusion device (2300). The packing device (100) has a cavity (302) defined therein, which is adapted to receive the spinal fusion device (2300). The packing device (100) further includes an access port (106), which intersects the cavity (302) to receive the osteogenic material (3102). A cannula (1400) is coupled to the packing device (100) and an inserter (2000) is coupled to the fusion device (2300) in order to insert the fusion device (2300) into the packing device (100). Osteogenic material (3102) is packed through the access port (106) around the fusion device (2300). The fusion device (2300) then is slid through the cannula (1400) and inserted in the intervertebral space between adjacent vertebrae.
