Rod-shaped implant, in particular for the dynamic stabilization of the spine

摘要

A rod-shaped implant (1) is provided in particular for the dynamic stabilization of the spine, at least a portion of which is comprised of a flexible first material forming a matrix (3) in which a flexible structure (2) comprising at least one fiber made of a second material is embedded. The rod-shaped implant can be compressed and extended along the longitudinal axis of the rod-shaped implant while it provides a high torsional stiffness.
