Content
The expandable intervertebral implant 100 and/or its constituent components may be formed of any biocompatible materials, including but not limited to biocompatible metals such as Titanium, Titanium alloys, stainless steel alloys, cobalt-chromium steel alloys, nickel-titanium alloys, shape memory alloys such as Nitinol, biocompatible ceramics, and biocompatible polymers such as Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or a polylactide polymer (e.g. PLLA) and/or others. In one embodiment, the first lattice 130 and/or the second lattice 140 can be made of metal. In some embodiments, components of the expandable intervertebral implant 100 may be formed of a less rigid material so that the upper plate 110 and/or lower plate 120 can spread apart from each other in response to the expansion mechanism 160.
