摘要：
An instrument positions an intervertebral implant for the fusion between two vertebral bodies of a vertebral column. The instrument may include a handle having a proximal and a distal end, a locking shaft extended from the distal end of the handle, and a grasping head at the distal end of the shaft. The locking shaft may be cannulated, and a stem may be hosted inside the cannulated shaft passing through the handle. The stem may be free to rotate with respect to the locking shaft, or vice versa, while the grasping head may be formed at the distal end of the stem with a couple of prongs or clamps toward the other according to an angular relative rotation of the stem with respect to the locking shaft. The instrument may allow the surgeon to grip a corresponding implant with a simple rotation movement of his hand.
