Claim 0:
1. A system for delivering bone graft material into an interbody fusion device implanted in an intradiscal space of a spine, said interbody fusion device having a distal end and a proximal end, opposing spaced side walls and opposing top and bottom surfaces defining an open-frame architecture with a hollow interior and an opening through each of said sidewalls, said top and bottom surfaces and at least through its proximal end, each opening being in communication with said hollow interior, said system comprising:
an elongate channel having a distal end and a proximal end and a lumen extending therethrough, said distal end including an engagement feature for engaging the proximal end of said interbody fusion device in a manner to align said lumen of said channel with said opening through the proximal end of said interbody fusion device;
a support member attached to said elongate channel adjacent the proximal end of said elongate channel in a manner to leave open said lumen;
an adjustable block movably mounted to said support member, said block having a plurality of chambers that upon movement of said block are individually sequentially alignable with said lumen;
a quantity of bone graft material disposed in each of said chambers; and
a releasable locking mechanism to maintain each of said chambers in a surmountable aligned position relative to said lumen.
