  • Intervertebral disk prosthesis
    Patent number: 6527804
    Abstract: An intervertebral disc prosthesis comprising two plates and a cushion interposed between the plates is contemplated. The cushion includes a compressible body having two ends in contact with the plates. At least one of the ends is freely displaceable relative to the plate in a parallel direction.
