Step 8 – Implant Insertion and

Expansion

Insert the implant into the prepared space and
center to the endplates of the adjacent
vertebral bodies.

Rotate the large expander knob of the inserter
instrument to expand the implant to the
desired amount of distraction. Height is
shown on the post of the expandable implant.

Remove the inserter instrument by
unthreading the attachment shaft from the
implant by rotating the shaft
counterclockwise.

Step 9 – Implant Positioning

Implant position can be adjusted by use of the
tamp. To prevent damage to the endplates,
reduce the height of the implant until the teeth
disengage the endplates, reposition the
implant and then re-expand the cage.
