AI Technical Summary
Existing spinal implants lack the ability to effectively distribute forces, correct physiological curvature, and integrate with vertebrae, leading to discomfort and potential sinking due to inadequate structural support and integration with bone.
An expandable spinal implant with a flexible body, expander component, fastener, and anti-reverse mechanism, designed to be inserted between vertebrae, which expands to correct curvature and enhance bone integration through a combination of materials and structural features like guiding grooves, porous structures, and anti-reverse mechanisms.
The implant provides enhanced structural support, corrects spinal curvature, and promotes bone ingrowth, reducing the risk of sinking and ensuring stable long-term assembly by preventing fastener disengagement.
