Abstract

A spinal implant is provided that is configured to receive a fill material. The spinal implant includes a wall defined by a plurality of strands braided together. The wall defines an interior chamber that extends between an anterior end and a posterior end. The wall has an interior side, an exterior side, and a wall thickness that extends between the interior side and the exterior side. The wall has a porosity that permits fluid passage through the wall thickness. The spinal implant is disposable in a collapsed state and in a filled state. The plurality of strands are braided in a manner that gives the interior chamber a volumetrically increasing configuration in a direction from the posterior end to the anterior end when the spinal implant is disposed in the filled state.
