Abstract:
A spinal implant for stabilizing first and second vertebrae. The spinal implant includes an intervertebral spacer and a bone stabilization member configured to be coupled to the intervertebral spacer. The bone stabilization member includes a plurality of bone screw openings and a plurality of bone screws extendable through the bone screw openings to secure the bone stabilization member to the vertebrae. A retention member, which is slidably coupled to the bone stabilization member, is linearly slidable between a first position and a second position while coupled to the bone stabilization member. In the first position, each of the bone screws is permitted to be inserted into the bone screw openings, and in the second position the retention member at least partially covers each of the bone screw openings to prevent a bone screw from backing out of the respective bone screw opening.

Claim (Index 21):
An implant securable to vertebral bodies, the implant comprising:\n an intervertebral spacer positionable between a first vertebra and a second vertebra; a bone stabilization member coupleable to the intervertebral spacer, the bone stabilization member including a first bone screw opening, a second bone screw opening, and a locking bore; a first bone screw extendable through the first bone screw opening to secure the bone stabilization member to the first vertebra; a second bone screw extendable through the second bone screw opening to secure the bone stabilization member to the second vertebra; a retention member coupleable to the bone stabilization member, the retention member movable between a first position and a second position, the retention member allowing the first and second bone screws to be received through the first and second bone screw openings, respectively, when the retention member is in the first position, and the retention member preventing the first and second bone screws from exiting the first and second bone screw openings, respectively, when the retention member is in the second position, the retention member including a retention opening extending therethrough; and a locking member insertable through the retention opening and into the locking bore of the bone stabilization member, the locking member configured to move the retention member between the first position and the second position as the locking screw is secured within the locking bore.
