A spinal implant (30) having a series of sections or units (32) hinged together and a balloon (50) connected to at least some of the sections, the balloon having a curved configuration. The implant has a first delivery- configuration and a second curved placement configuration, wherein it has a more linear configuration in the first delivery configuration than in the second curved configuration. The implant assumes the first delivery- configuration during delivery to the disc space and maintains the curved configuration after placement within the disc space. The curved configuration can result from filling or expanding the balloon.
L'invention concerne un implant (30) vertébral qui comprend une série de sections ou unités (32) articulées les unes aux autres et un ballonnet (50) raccordé à au moins certaines des sections, le ballonnet présentant une configuration courbée. L'implant présente une première configuration de distribution et une deuxième configuration courbée de mise en place, la première configuration de distribution étant plus linéaire que la deuxième configuration courbée. L'implant prend la première configuration de distribution pendant la distribution dans l'espace intervertébral et reste en configuration courbée après mise en place dans l'espace intervertébral. La configuration courbée peut résulter du remplissage ou du gonflage du ballonnet.
