Abstract: Systems for positioning a patient are provided. A patient positioning system comprising: an upper support comprising: a mounting plate for a pad; a hinge comprising a curved surface including teeth, the curved surface operable to rotate; a pawl that is in contact with the teeth of the hinge, wherein the pawl is operable to allow rotation of the pad in a first direction due to angles of the teeth; a moveable member extending from the hinge, the moveable member including teeth; and a second pawl that is in contact with the teeth of the moveable member, the second pawl operable to allow movement of the moveable member due to angles of the teeth of the moveable member; and a lower support connected to the upper support via the moveable member.

Abstract: An intervertebral implant for implantation in an intervertebral space between vertebrae. The implant includes a body having a front end, a rear end and a pair of spaced apart first and second side walls extending between the front and rear ends. The front and rear ends extend in a transverse direction and a central axis of the body extends from the rear end to the front end. The rear end defines a first fastener hole having a first central axis and a second fastener hole having a second central axis. The first and second central axes extend parallel to one another at an acute angle relative to the body central axis in the transverse direction.

Abstract: An inserter connects to an implant which has two rotatable actuators for adjusting two different parameters of the insert. The inserter has a handle and a frame extending from the handle. A hollow tube is supported by the frame and has an end that can be connected and disconnected from the implant when the tube is rotated. A stem is passed through the tube, and another stem is supported by the frame. Each of the stems has an end that is connectable to an actuator of the implant, and an opposite end connectable to a tool driver. When the tool driver rotates a stem connected to the implant, a parameter of the implant is changed. The stems can be removed for cleaning or for replacement with a different type of stem. The two parameters can be a height of different sides of the implant.
