Abstract
A composite interbody bone implant device is provided including a body having a non-bone composition, such as a polymer, formed into a shape and including one or more cavities. An osteoinductive material, such as bone allograft tissue, may be retained in the one or more cavities of the body. The body is formable via injection molding and/or machining into a shape and size adapted for implantation at a surgical site. The dimensions of the body include a length, a width and a thickness, and the thickness of the body may be less than at least one of the length and width.
Claims7
A composite interbody bone implant device comprising:
- a body, which comprises a non-bone composition formed into a shape and including a plurality of cavities, the non-bone composition comprising a polymer comprising poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK), poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK), or a combination thereof;
- and an osteoinductive material provided within said cavities of the body, wherein the body is formable into a shape and size configured for implantation at an intervertebral endplate;
- the osteoinductive material comprising demineralized bone matrix fibers and demineralized bone matrix chips in a 30:60 ratio, and the demineralized bone matrix chips are surface demineralized and the demineralized bone fibers are fully demineralized, wherein the device has a surface area, wherein 5% to 50% of the surface area is configured to contact host bone at the intervertebral endplate and the osteoinductive material further comprises allograft bone material from about 10% to about 60% by weight of the device.
