Intervertebral disc prosthesis machining: Precision for long-lasting implants
Perfect adaptation to anatomical structures — for reliable integration and long-lasting function.
Intervertebral disc prosthesis is a highly specialised implant solution for restoring the mobility and stability to the spine. It consists of two metal plates, which are made with titanium or a cobalt-chrome-molybdenum alloy and are provided with a special titanium coating. This rough surface allows for a combination of the adjacent vertebral bodies for secure and stable anchoring.
Between the metal plates there is a polyethylene or metal core that simulates a natural movement function.
