  • Publication number: 20160166398
    Abstract: The implant includes two side walls resting against the vertebral end-plates and an intermediate wall joining the supporting walls. The implant can be deformed for insertion between the vertebrae to be treated to restore the attenuated mobility of the vertebrae, and includes mounting elements mounting on the vertebrae. The side walls have a curved shape, whose convexity is oriented towards the outside of the implant; the intermediate wall has a curved shape, whose convexity is oriented towards the outside of the implant such that it does not form any pronounced angles with the supporting side walls. The supporting side walls and the intermediate wall, have a partially oval shape; and the mounting elements are configured such that the implant can be mounted on the vertebrae.

  • Patent number: 9283011
    Abstract: The invention relates to an implant in the form of a bone-connecting device with an implant carrier, having at least two structure carriers for stimulating bone growth, the structure carriers can move relative to one another so that, due to a loading of the implant, a relative movement of the structure carriers occurs, the structure carriers furthermore contain structure elements that are arranged so that they define a plurality of partially open intermediate spaces, wherein a volume defined by these intermediate spaces and an immediate environment is deformed by the implant load, and a strain in the intermediate spaces and its immediate environment resulting from the deformation lies in the physiological range for bone growth.
