SPINAL IMPLANTABLE DEVICES MADE OF CARBON COMPOSITE MATERIALS AND USE THEREOF

摘要

A spinal implantable device may be produced from a composite material comprising a matrix including PEEK. The PEEK matrix may be reinforced with carbon fibers that amount to at least 60% of the composite material. The carbon fibers are arranged in a substantially parallel arrangement and compressed in a direction perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the carbon fibers.
