  • Patent number: 11864753
    Abstract: An implant delivery system includes an implant and an inserter releasably connectable to the implant. When the inserter is connected to the implant, actuating the inserter moves the implant between a free state and an elastically deformed state. The implant has a body with a bone facing surface and bilaterally protruding connecting means. The inserter has hooks that engage under the connecting means. The hooks and the rest of the inserter are proximal to the bone facing surface so that the implant may be fully seated against a bone surface while connected to the inserter.
