Patent number: 7922767Abstract: An embodiment provides an implant prosthesis. In some cases, the prosthesis can take the form of an implant strip that may be implanted through the use of a surgical procedure that minimizes incision sizes and may be considered less invasive than typical spinal implant procedures. In one aspect, a method of implanting a prosthesis may include making an incision in a patient, inserting a tube into the incision and between two adjacent vertebrae, inserting an implant strip through the tube, ejecting the implant strip from the tube between the two adjacent vertebrae, coiling the implant strip between the two adjacent vertebrae, and resisting compressive and tensile forces by deflecting an intermediate portion of the implant strip.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2007Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: JMEA CorporationInventors: James A.
