Bionic type artificial intervertebral disc and forming method thereof

Abstract

The invention relates to a bionic type artificial intervertebral disc and a forming method thereof. The bionic type artificial intervertebral disc is composed of an upper rigid end plate, a lower rigid end plate, an elastic nucleus pulposus arranged between the upper rigid end plate and the lower rigid end plate and a film body arranged at the outer side of the elastic nucleus pulposus; the elastic nucleus pulposus is constituted by adopting two or more polyurethane materials with different elasticity moduli, and the polyurethane materials with the different elasticity moduli are integrally connected. When the bionic type artificial intervertebral disc is molded, the center of the nucleus pulposus is firstly formed to connect the upper rigid end plate-polyurethane material workpiece and the lower rigid end plate-polyurethane material workpiece, and then the outer side is injected with the polyurethane materials. The bionic type artificial intervertebral disc is of an integral structure, and when the bionic type artificial intervertebral disc is loaded, through elastic deformation of the elastic nucleus pulposus, physiological activities of the artificial intervertebral disc in all directions are achieved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a bionic artificial intervertebral disc and a molding method thereof, and to the technical field of medical implantable orthopedic medical devices. Background technique

[0002] The intervertebral disc is the main component of the spinal motion segment. Its main function is to produce special limited activities between two adjacent vertebral bodies, absorb and buffer shocks with the help of the elasticity of the nucleus pulposus and the special structure of the fibrous annulus. Since the launch of the first generation of intervertebral disc prosthesis - ball joint prosthesis, ball and socket prosthesis, arch prosthesis, articular disc prosthesis and hard endplate-hard nucleus prosthesis have been developed successively, which can better meet the The prosthesis required by human biomechanics, however, most of these prostheses basically give up the requirement for elasticity, and focus on motion retention. Other prostheses desig...
