Abstract:
A bone fusion device for insertion between bones that are to be fused together, such as, for example, the vertebrae of a spinal column. The bone fusion device comprises at least one extendable tab and one or more tab extension assemblies. Each tab extension assembly is able to be adjusted in order to individually control the extension or contraction of a side of the tab thereby enabling adjustment of the height and/or angle of the tab with respect to the body of the bone fusion device. Each tab extension assembly is able to be individually adjusted such that the side controlled by each assembly is raised or lowered until the desired tab angle is achieved. The tab is advantageously positioned and angled to correspond to the vertebrae to help brace the device until the bone has fused.

Claim (Index 45):
A bone fusion device for insertion into a desired location comprising:\n a body having an interior cavity; a tab configured to selectively move from a retracted position at least partially within interior cavity of the body to an extended position at least partially extending out of the body; a first extension assembly configured to move the tab between the retracted position and the extended position, the first extension assembly comprising a first drive screw having a first longitudinal axis to control extension of the first extension assembly; and a second extension assembly configured to move the tab between the retracted position and the extended position, the second extension assembly comprising a second drive screw having a second longitudinal axis different from the first longitudinal axis, to control extension of the second extension assembly.
