S-LIFT Inserter Outer Sleeve Product Usage: The Inserter Sleeve is an optional instrument to add further compression of the Inserter into the Implant during implantation of S-LIF Intervertebral Body Fusion Devices using bone graft to facilitate fusion of the spine of skeletally mature patients. Model: SI50003 RevA

The outer sleeve would not fit over the S-LIFT Inserter assembly because the hole at the top of the sleeve handle was too small.
