Instrument set and method for inserting a basket into the disc space between two vertebral bodies

摘要

Instrument set for inserting a basket into the intervertebral disc space between two vertebral bodies, comprising a guide wire (2.1), a plurality of dilators (2.3-2.6) slidable over the guide wire and superimposed with a working sleeve (3) and a basket (4), characterized in that the working sleeve (3) is provided in its distal jacket area with slots (3.4) and ribs (3.5) arranged therebetween and is flexible enough in its distal area such that the working sleeve (3) fixes its distal area to the vertebral bodies (1.1 , 1.2) in the direction of its extension with simultaneous angular mobility or variable angular alignability of its proximal end face (3.6).
