Abstract:
A bone graft delivery system can include an elongate tube and a handle having a trigger and a ratcheting mechanism. The trigger is actuated to deliver bone graft material through the tube. The bone graft delivery system can further include a distal tip at a distal end of the tube. The tip has one or more openings to deliver the bone graft material to a desired location and includes a surface suitable to act as a rasp for decorticating bone. A method for delivering bone graft material to a desired surgical location includes providing a bone graft delivery device, positioning the device adjacent the surgical location, decorticating bone, and delivering bone graft material to the surgical location.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for delivering bone graft material to a surgical location, comprising:\n placing an interbody device within a disc space of a patient; mating a distal end of an elongate tube of a bone graft delivery device to the interbody device while the interbody device is positioned in the disc space or coupling the elongate tube to the interbody device by way of an attachment member while the interbody device is positioned in the disc space, wherein bone graft material is loaded in the bone graft delivery device; and advancing the bone graft material through a lumen of the elongate tube of the bone graft delivery device using a plunger comprising a plurality of notches.
