  • Spreader implant for placement between vertebrae
    Publication number: 20040127993
    Abstract: An implant for placement between vertebrae, especially as used for joining vertebrae after a diskectomy. The shape of the implant is adapted to a depression present in the vertebral surfaces facing the implant. This adaptation to the slightly depressed vertebral surface results in the implant producing less stress on the vertebral bodies and ensures a high degree of positional stability of the implant between the vertebrae.
