Abstract
The artificial intervertebral disc of the present invention includes: a structured fabric having biomimetic structure and dynamic behavior, the structure comprising organic fibers, which are formed to be a cubic multi-axial three-dimensional fabric having tri-axial, to be interwoven tissues or to be a complex tissue of these; and tappets mounted on the upper surface and the lower surface of this structured fabric, wherein the tappets are connected and fitted with the connecting filaments vertically penetrating through the structured fabric. This structured fabric shows biomimetic dynamic behavior like a real intervertebral disc and achieves a clinically effective and reliable stand-alone type of biomimetic artificial intervertebral disc which can be inserted and fixed with minimally-invasive operation.
