Patent attributes
An instrument includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve positioned in the outer sleeve, a latch coupled to the inner sleeve, a knob coupled to the inner sleeve and a lever coupled to the knob and to the latch. An inner sheath extends through an outer sheath and includes an end positioned between the inner sleeve and the shaft. The inner sheath includes a groove. The knob is movable relative to the inner sleeve to move the instrument between a first orientation in which the latch is positioned in the groove and the inner sheath is prevented from translating relative to the inner sleeve and a second orientation in which the latch is spaced apart from the groove and the inner sheath is translatable relative to the inner sleeve. Systems, implants and methods are disclosed.
