Abstract
A graft delivery device includes a graft delivery tube having a main passage for delivering graft material to a surgical implant inserted between adjacent vertebrae of a spine. The graft delivery tube includes an articulating portion proximate an output end of the graft delivery tube. The graft delivery device also includes a pusher device slidable along the main passage to drive graft material through the main passage toward the output end of the graft delivery tube, an actuation wire extending axially through at least the articulating portion of the graft delivery tube, and an actuation device connected to the actuation wire. The actuation device is actuatable to pull the actuation wire. Moreover, pulling the actuation wire bends the articulating portion of the graft delivery tube and positions the output end proximate the surgical implant.
