Abstract

"NúCLEO DE DISCO ESPINHAL PROTéTICO AFUNILADO". A invenção refere-se a um núcleo de disco espinhal protético (20) para implantação em uma cavidade de núcleo de um disco espinhal. A cavidade de núcleo é definida por um par de corpos vertebrados em oposição e um anel. O núcleo de disco espinhal protético possui um núcleo hidrogel formado (22) configurado para expandir de um estado desidratado para um estado hidratado. O núcleo hidrogel possui uma forma cóncava, pelo menos no estado hidratado. A jaqueta de contração (24) envolvendo o núcleo hidrogel é flexível, mas substancialmente inelástico e possui geralmente um volume máximo fixo menor do que um volume de uma cavidade de núcleo, de tal forma que a jaqueta de contração é configurada para prevenir o núcleo hidrogel de conformar a um anel ao hidratar-se.
