ABSTRACT:
A tool for inserting or removing an intervertebral implant. The tool includes a first arm having a curved tip adapted for engaging a side wall groove of the intervertebral implant and a second arm pivotably coupled to the first arm. The first arm defines a first concave distal surface extending continuously from the curved tip and the second arm defines a second concave distal surface. The first and second concave distal surfaces define an engagement surface engageable to a substantially complementary convex end wall of the intervertebral implant.
