INTERVERTEBRAL IMPLANT

摘要

The intervertebral implant is shaped in the-form of a hollow cylinder and has a cover face (1), a base face (2), a hollow cylinder wall (3) with an outer lateral area (4) and an inner lateral area (5), as well as a hollow cylinder central axis (6). The implant consists at at least 95 percent by volume of a radiolucent material which has a modulus of elasticity of between 1 and 20 GPa. It permits a postsurgical observation by means of X-rays and at the same time is characterised by a high degree of biocompatibility.
