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 first and second reservoir and one or more fluids, wherein upon application of a load upon the artificial nucleus and/or disc, the one or more fluids enters said second reservoir from said first reservoir.
L'invention concerne des dispositifs et des méthodes destinés à la fabrication de dispositifs pour le traitement de disques intervertébraux usés et/ou abîmés. Ces disques ou composants de disques artificiels peuvent comprendre un noyau artificiel et/ou un anneau artificiel et être constitués de matériaux de synthèse à mémoire de forme conçus pour fournir des propriétés mécaniques et physiques désirées. Ces noyaux et/ou anneaux artificiels de l'invention peuvent comprendre un premier et un second réservoir et un ou plusieurs fluides. Lors de l'application d'une charge sur le noyau et/ou le disque artificiel, ces fluides pénètrent dans le second réservoir depuis le premier réservoir.
