    Abstract: Implant bending instruments disclosed herein can have a plurality of bending elements that can be symmetrically driven to bend or contour an implant, such as a spinal rod. A single actuator handle can be moved to drive a compound gear train and move the bending elements to intersect an implant-receiving channel and bend an implant received therein. Instruments of the present disclosure can have an increased mechanical advantage than conventional bending instruments thereby allowing for an increased amount of force to bend an implant. A locking pawl can selectively prevent counter rotation of the gear train such that the handle can be actuated a plurality of times to achieve a desired contour angle.

    Abstract: An intervertebral implant includes a first endplate member and a second endplate member, and a distal wedge member and a proximal wedge member that couple the first and second endplate members together. The distal wedge member is configured to move in an expansion direction that causes the fusion cage to move from a contracted position to an expanded position.
