Estimating the term…
An interbody spinal implant and a process of producing the implant. The implant includes an integration surface having a roughened surface topography as at least part of the top surface, bottom surface, or both surfaces. The integration surface comprises at least one or more of (a) a plurality of grains; (b) intergranular boundaries between the plurality of grains; and (c) unsatisfied chemical bonds. The integration surface may be produced by texturing a surface by chemical processes, mechanical processes, or both to provide the plurality of grains and intergranular boundaries and chemically etching the surface to provide unsatisfied chemical bonds. In addition, the plurality of grains and the intergranular boundaries may etch at different or non-uniform etch rates.
An interbody spinal implant comprising:
A process for producing an integration surface on an interbody spinal implant having a top surface and a bottom surface where at least a portion of at least one of the top surface and the bottom surface comprises the integration surface having a roughened surface topography, without sharp teeth that risk damage to bone structures, adapted to grip bone through friction generated when the implant is placed between two vertebrae and to inhibit migration of the implant, the process comprising:
