Abstract:
An intervertebral implant for being implanted between adjacent vertebrae is provided. The implant includes a generally elongate implant body having a length extending between opposite longitudinal ends thereof, a superior face and an inferior face. The superior face and inferior face include cortical teeth adjacent to the implant body longitudinal ends. Additionally, the superior and inferior faces include longitudinally central teeth intermediate the cortical teeth and have bone engaging ends. The central teeth have a sharper configuration than that of the cortical teeth bone engaging ends for biting into the softer central bone material of the vertebrae. The cortical teeth are arranged in a first density per unit area and the central teeth are arranged in a second density per unit area that is less than the first density.

Claim (Index 1):
An intervertebral implant for being implanted between adjacent vertebrae, the intervertebral implant comprising:\n a generally elongate implant body having a length extending along a longitudinal axis between first and second longitudinal ends positioned opposite one another, an intermediate portion located between the first and second longitudinal ends, the first longitudinal end having a first thickness and the intermediate portion having a second thickness greater than the first thickness such that the body is tapered from the first longitudinal end to the intermediate portion; a superior face of the implant body; an inferior face of the implant body; a first throughopening defined by an interior surface extending between a first opening at the superior face and a second opening at the inferior face through the implant body and configured to receive fusion material therein, the first throughopening positioned at the intermediate portion; a second throughopening defined by an interior surface extending between a third opening at the superior face and a fourth opening at the inferior face through the implant body and configured to receive fusion material therein, the second throughopening positioned at the intermediate portion; a plurality of protrusions extending from the interior surface of each of the first and second throughopenings; and a plurality of teeth on the superior and inferior faces in the intermediate portion.
