An intervertebral implant for fusing vertebrae is disclosed. The implant
may have a body with curved, posterior and anterior faces separated by
two narrow implant ends, superior and inferior faces having a plurality
of undulating surfaces for contacting vertebral endplates, and at least
one depression in the anterior or posterior face for engagement by an
insertion tool. The implant may also have one or more vertical
through-channels extending through the implant from the superior face to
the inferior face, a chamfer on the superior and inferior surfaces at one
of the narrow implant ends, and/or a beveled edge along a perimeter of
the superior and inferior faces. The implant configuration facilitates
transforaminal insertion of the implant into a symmetric position about
the midline of the spine so that a single implant provides balanced
support to the spinal column. The implant may be formed of a plurality of
interconnecting bodies assembled to form a single unit. An implantation
kit and method are also disclosed.
