A system for implanting an interbody device between adjacent vertebrae comprises an interbody device having a plurality of lobes extending outwardly from a longitudinal rib, and having a relaxed shape approximating the shape of the disc being replaced. An insertion guide is provided having a bore therein from a proximal end to a distal end thereof to accept said interbody device in an unrelaxed shape, wherein said distal end is shaped for insertion into an intervertebral space. The insertion rod may be positioned within said bore of said insertion guide whereby said interbody device is positioned within said intervertebral space by advancing said insertion rod into said insertion guide.

L'invention concerne un système destiné à implanter un dispositif intervertébral entre des vertèbres adjacentes, comprenant un dispositif intervertébral présentant une pluralité de lobes s'étendant vers l'extérieur depuis une nervure longitudinale, et présentant une forme relâchée proche de la forme du disque remplacé. L'invention propose un guide d'insertion ayant un alésage dans celui-ci depuis une extrémité proximale vers une extrémité distale de celui-ci, pour recevoir le dispositif intervertébral dans une forme relâchée, l'extrémité distale étant formée pour être insérée dans un espace intervertébral. La tige d'insertion peut être positionnée dans l'alésage du guide d'insertion, de sorte que l'on positionne le dispositif intervertébral dans l'espace intervertébral en faisant progresser ladite tige d'insertion dans ledit guide d'insertion.
