Abstract
Various porous implantable interbody or spinal fusion devices, which may be formed of metal, metal alloy or polymer are provided. These porous implantable interbody devices may be engineered to have a porous network or scaffold structure for repairing and/or replacing damaged bone segments in the spine while allowing better fusion for improved bone healing and bone regrowth.
Claims16
An implantable device comprising:
- a body having a solid perimeter structure formed by an upper surface, a lower surface, a pair of exterior sidewalls, and an exterior intermediate wall, the pair of exterior sidewalls extending between the upper surface and the lower surface and being connected by the exterior intermediate wall and converging at a rounded nose;
- the pair of exterior sidewalls each having a porous mesh structure integrated therein, the solid perimeter structure surrounding the porous mesh structure, the porous mesh structure having a repeating geometric unit of cells and being configured to allow bony ongrowth or bony ingrowth therethrough;
- and
- the device further including a central opening between the upper and lower surfaces;
- wherein the body is configured for insertion along a trajectory represented by an axis that is oblique relative to a midline of a vertebral body of a spine.
