Abstract:
The present invention provides an expandable fusion device capable of being installed inside an intervertebral disc space to maintain normal disc spacing and restore spinal stability, thereby facilitating an intervertebral fusion. The fusion device described herein is capable of being installed inside an intervertebral disc space at a minimum to no distraction height and for a fusion device capable of maintaining a normal distance between adjacent vertebral bodies when implanted.

Claim (Index 22):
An expandable fusion system for implantation between two adjacent vertebrae, the system comprising an inserter and an expandable fusion device comprising:\n an actuator comprising a drive feature; a wedge assembly; a ramp assembly; an upper endplate assembly; and a lower endplate assembly; wherein, the device has a width comprising an external distance between at least one of the first endplate and the third endplate, and the second endplate and the fourth endplate; wherein, the device has a height comprising an external distance between at least one of the first endplate and the second endplate, and the third endplate and the fourth endplate; wherein, actuation of the drive feature by a first number of actuations in a first actuation direction increases the width without increasing the height; and, wherein, actuation of the drive feature by a second number of actuations beyond the first number of actuations in the first actuation direction increases at least one of the height and the width.
