Abstract
A method of making a multi-layer osteogenic carrier device for use in a vertebral column of a patient, comprising producing an elongated tubular structure, the elongated tubular structure comprising a closed end and an open end, wherein the open end is adapted for introducing an osteoinductive, osteogenic, and/or osteoconductive substance; cutting the elongated tubular structure to a certain length; introducing the osteoinductive, osteogenic, and/or osteoconductive substance into the open end of the elongated tubular structure; and closing the open end of the elongated tubular structure to form the multi-layer osteogenic carrier device.
