CA 2577175

Devices and methods for manufacturing devices for treating degenerated and/or traumatized intervertebral discs are disclosed. Artificial discs and components of discs may include an artificial nucleus and/or an artificial annulus and may be comprised of shape memory materials synthesized to achieve desired mechanical and physical properties. An artificial nucleus and/or annulus according to the invention may comprise a filler retention membrane that may be filled with a curable material for deployment. A filler retention membrane according to the invention may comprise one or more partitions to define one or more chambers and may comprise one or more valves for selectively permitting the flow of material within the nuclear region and annular region of the filler retention membrane.

L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des procédés de fabrication de dispositifs servant au traitement des disques intervertébraux dégénérés et/ou lésés. Des disques et des composants de disques artificiels peuvent contenir un noyau artificiel et/ou un annulus artificiel ainsi que des matériaux à mémoire de forme synthétisés de manière à satisfaire aux propriétés mécaniques et physiques souhaitées. Selon l'invention, un noyau artificiel et/ou un annulus artificiel peut comprendre une membrane de rétention de charge pouvant être remplie d'un matériau de déploiement durcissable. Selon l'invention, la membrane de rétention de charge peut comprendre une ou plusieurs cloisons qui servent à former plusieurs compartiments ainsi qu'une ou plusieurs valves qui permettent l'écoulement sélectif du matériau dans la région nucléaire et la région annulaire de la membrane de rétention de charge.
