Abstract:
An interbody implant comprises one or more elongate members that have superior and inferior surfaces with a height, and medial and lateral surfaces having a width. The height is set so the implant fits into the intervertebral space. The width is less than the height. The interbody implant has a first configuration, a second configuration, and a third configuration. The interbody implant is inserted into the intervertebral space in the first configuration such that medial and lateral surfaces contact the vertebral bodies, and the interbody implant is then actuated into the second configuration such that superior and inferior surfaces engage the vertebral bodies. Actuation of the implant from the first configuration to the second configuration distracts the vertebral bodies. The implant is actuated into the third configuration where the width of the implant is greater than width of the implant in the first or the second configuration.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of deploying an interbody implant in an intervertebral space surrounded by adjacent vertebral bodies in a patient during a spinal fusion procedure, said method comprising:\n placing the interbody implant, formed from a plurality of elongated members, within the intervertebral space, said interbody implant having superior and inferior surfaces that have surface features to engage vertebral bodies, wherein the vertebral bodies are configured to be engaged so as to distract the engaged vertebral bodies away from each other so as to increase the intervertebral space, and increasing a width between medial and lateral surfaces of the interbody implant from a first position having a first width to a second position having a second width by translating at least two elongated members of the plurality of plurality of elongated members away from each other, wherein the plurality of elongate members are coupled together with one or more spanning components, and wherein the implant further comprises a pin that couples a spanning component of the one or more spanning components to an elongate member of the plurality of elongate members.
