Abstract
A device for positioning an implant for intervertebral fusion, comprising: a handle; a rod protruding from the handle along a main direction of extension of the device up to a free end; a coupler which couples with an implant for intervertebral fusion operatively active at the free end; wherein said coupler comprises: an axial retention assembly provided with a gripper arranged at said free end of the rod and selectively operable between a clamping and a releasing configuration, and an anti-rotational constraint assembly selectively movable between a locking position, in which it is arranged around said axial retention assembly and abuts said implant to prevent its rotation, and a disengagement position, in which it leaves the implant free to rotate in the gripper; and wherein the axial retention assembly and the anti-rotational constraint assembly are structurally different and complementary.
