SELF-EXPANDING DEVICE OF LUMBAR INTERVERTEBRAL FUSION.

摘要

The current surgical processes require devices and technology of minimum invasion, without compromising the functionality of the same. This is required so that the patients have a quick recovery and reduced risks. The design of novel devices, which are robust and with intelligent materials, with a memory effect so as to be flexible and expandable with regard to its original shape, these characteristics allow the invention to be introduced into the human body in a minimally invasive manner. In addition, the invention has the characteristic of being stackable into itself and fixed suitably in the vertebral body.
