Claim 7:
8. A spinal cage system comprising:
a spinal cage holder configured to hold a spinal cage; and
a spinal cage hammer including
an elongated body having a proximal end and a distal end, the elongated body including at least one cavity extending from the proximal end to the distal end along an axis of elongation, the cavity configured to receive a portion of the spinal cage holder, the at least one cavity including a first cavity and a second cavity, the first cavity having a smaller diameter or width than the second cavity,
a contact surface configured to enter into contact with the spinal cage holder to transfer a force to the spinal cage holder, the contact surface being disposed in between the first cavity and the second cavity to enter into contact with a body of the spinal cage holder when the elongated body is moved relative to the spinal cage holder, when holding the spinal cage holder, to transfer the force to the spinal cage holder, and
a slit formed substantially in parallel to the axis of elongation, extending fully along the elongated body from an outer extremity of the proximal end to an outer extremity of the distal end and into the at least one cavity and traversing the elongated body entirely.
