This invention is an implant holder (500) for inserting a spinal implant into a disc space. The implant holder (500) has a shaft (502) and an outer sleeve (504). Shaft (502) has a distal end (506), a proximal end (508), a reduced portion (510) extending towards distal end (506), an intermediate reduced portion (511), and an enlarged portion (512) between intermediate reduced portion (511 ) and proximal end (508). Shaft (502) is preferably hollow and is adapted to permit the passage of other instruments therethrough. Outer sleeve (504) has a distal end (522) and proximal end (524). Distal end (522) has upper and lower extensions (526,528), and side extensions (530) adapted to cooperatively engage trailing end (104) of implant (100). Side extensions (530) each have a flange (532) to cooperatively engage slot (126) of implant (100) and and a stop (534) for limiting further advancement of implant holder (500) into trailing end (104) of implant (100). A method for inserting a spinal implant into an implantation space using the implant holder (500) is disclosed.
