Patent

CA 2654570

A method for fusing spinal bone is provided. The method comprises placing a sac between two or more adjacent sections of the spine to be fused, and filling the sac with bone tissue. The surfaces of the sac abutting the sections of the spine comprise porous material for allowing bone to grow between the spine and the sac. Surfaces of the sac not abutting the sections of the spine are nonporous to bodily fluids and thereby prevent premature deterioration of the bone tissue inside the sac. A sac for fusing spinal bone and a kit comprising the sac are also provided.

L'invention a pour objet une méthode pour fusionner un os vertébral. Ladite méthode consiste à placer un sac entre au moins deux sections adjacentes à fusionner de la colonne vertébrale, et à remplir le sac de tissu osseux. Les surfaces du sac qui touchent les sections de colonne vertébrale comprennent un matériau poreux pour permettre à de l'os de se développer entre la colonne vertébrale et le sac. Les surfaces du sac qui ne touchent pas les sections de colonne vertébrale sont non poreuses vis-à-vis des liquides corporels et empêchent ainsi une détérioration prématurée du tissu osseux à l'intérieur du sac. Un sac pour fusionner un os vertébral et une trousse qui comprend le sac sont aussi décrits.
