<p>The implant (94, 95, 96) is made from a pyrocarbon material and has no fixings, so that it is able to move freely between the surfaces of adjacent bones (90, 91, 92, 93), especially of articulated joints in the limbs, hands and feet. The implant is made from a material with a modulus of elasticity between about 10 and 35 GPa, and its outer surface at least is made from polished pyrocarbon or other biocompatible material. Depending on the position in which it is to be implanted, the implant can be ellipsoid, ovoid or disc-shaped with convex and/or concave surfaces, so that it can be used as an akle, intervertebral disc or partial or complete wrist prosthesis.</p> |
