Patent

CA 2582800

The nucleus of an intervertebral disc is replaced with a construct including a distendable sack or balloon (10), which is inflated with a hardenable material (12) and is detached in situ when the injected material has hardened. Alternatively, two nested balloons (10,12) may be inserted, and then filled with materials (12,22) which have different hardnesses when cured, to simulate a natural disc.

Structure remplaçant le noyau d'un disque intervertébral et incorporant un sac ou ballon pouvant se distendre (10), que l'on gonfle avec une matière durcissante (12) et qui se détache in situ quand la matière injectée s'est durcie. Comme variante de la structure selon l'invention, on peut insérer deux ballons imbriqués (10,12), et les remplir ensuite de matières (12,22) qui ont des duretés différentes une fois durcies, pour simuler un disque naturel.
