Bone graft delivery system and method for using same

Abstract

A bone graft delivery system can include an elongate tube and a handle having a trigger and a ratcheting mechanism. The trigger is actuated to deliver bone graft material through the tube. The bone graft delivery system can further include a distal tip at a distal end of the tube. The tip has one or more openings to deliver the bone graft material to a desired location and includes a surface suitable to act as a rasp for decorticating bone. A method for delivering bone graft material to a desired surgical location includes providing a bone graft delivery device, positioning the device adjacent the surgical location, decorticating bone, and delivering bone graft material to the surgical location.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A bone graft delivery system kit comprising:
 a handle;   one or more elongate tubes configured to be coupled to the handle; and   one or more plungers configured to be removably received in the handle and tube.
