More particularly, the present invention relates to surgical spacers having a flexible container for containing a material that is compressible during end use, the container being substantially impermeable to the material, and a structure for controlling at least part of a shape of the container when containing the material.
- the human spine is a biomechanical structure with thirty-three vertebral members, and is responsible for protecting the spinal cord, nerve roots and internal organs of the thorax and abdomen.
- the spine also provides structural support for the body while permitting flexibility of motion.
- a significant portion of the population will experience back pain at some point in their lives resulting from a spinal condition.
- the pain may range from general discomfort to disabling pain that immobilizes the individual.
- Back pain may result from a trauma to the spine, the natural aging process, or the result of a degenerative disease or condition.
- Procedures to address back problems sometimes require correcting the distance between spinous processes by inserting a device (e.g., a spacer) therebetween.
- a device e.g., a spacer
- the spacer which is carefully positioned and aligned within the area occupied by the interspinous ligament, after removal thereof, is sized to position the spinous processes in a manner to return proper spacing thereof.

- FIG. 1 depicts adjacent vertebrae 100, 102 of the lumbar region of a human spinal column.
- each vertebrae comprises a vertebral body (e.g., vertebral body 104), a superior articular process (e.g., superior articular process 106), a transverse process (e.g., transverse process 108), an inferior articular process (e.g., inferior articular process 110), and a spinous process (e.g., spinous process 112).
- a space 116 normally occupied by an intervertebral disc see FIG. 2
- spinous processes 112 and 118 is a space 120 normally occupied by an interspinous ligament (see FIG. 2).
- FIG. 2 depicts the vertebrae of FIG. 1 within an area 200 of the lumbar region of a human spine.
- spinous processes 112 and 118 are touching and pinching interspinous ligament 202, calling for spacing of the spinous processes.
- FIG. 3 depicts spinous processes 112 and 118 after spacing with an interspinous spacer 300 in accordance with one aspect of the present invention.
- interspinous ligament 202 has been removed in a conventional manner prior to insertion of spacer 300.
- spacer 300 is implanted in its unexpanded state, as described more fully below.
- the spacer is filled with a material described below through a conduit 302 after implantation.
- the material may be injected into the spacer through the conduit (e.g., a one-way valve).
- measurement of the space between the interspinous processes and determination of the spacer size and desired amount of filling can be performed. Conventional methods can be used, such as, for example, the use of templates, trials, distractors, scissor-jacks or balloon sizers.
- FIG. 4 depicts a partially cut-away view of one example of a spacer 400, in accordance with one aspect of the present invention.
- the spacer comprises an unfilled container 402 inside a structure 404.
- the container is in an evacuated state during implantation and prior to being filled.
- a valve e.g., a one-way valve
- the container is preferably evacuated prior to or during the process of coupling the valve thereto.
- the structure is outside the container.
- the container can be outside the structure, or the container and structure can be integrated.
- the structure can have any shape necessary for the particular surgical application.
- the structure could instead have a roughly cylindrical shape to replace an intervertebral disc.
- the structure could be spherically or elliptically shaped to replace part of the intervertebral disc, for example, the nucleus pulpous, leaving the rest of the disc intact.
- the structure is shown enveloping the container, the structure could be for only a portion of the container, depending on the particular application. For example, it may be desired to prevent bulging of the container only in a particular area.
- Coupled to the container is an optional conduit 406 for accepting a material that is compressible during end use.
- the structure provides support for and containment of the container when filled.
- the container is flexible and substantially impermeable to the material it will be filled with.
- the container may be permeable to other materials, for example, it may be air and/or water permeable.
- the container takes the form of a bag or balloon, but can take other forms, so long as flexible and substantially impermeable to the material it will be filled with.
- the container must be substantially impermeable to the filling material, for example, in a liquid state during filling and prior to curing.
- container materials include silicone, rubber, polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyolefm, polycarbonate urethane, and silicone copolymers.
- Conduit 406 accepts the material being used to fill the container.
- the conduit comprises a one-way valve, however, a two-way valve is also contemplated, as another example.
- the conduit can comprise any material suitable for implanting, for example, various plastics.
- the conduit is constructed to be used with a delivery system for filling the container, such as, for example, a pressurized syringe-type delivery system.
- the delivery system itself forms no part of the present invention.
- the conduit is optional.
- Other examples of how to fill the container comprise the use of a self-sealing material for the container, or leaving an opening in the container that is closed (e.g., sewn shut) intraoperatively after filling.
- Using a curable material to fill the container may also serve to self-seal the container.
- the container is filled with a material that is compressible during end use.
- the compressibility characteristic ensures that the material exhibits viscoelastic behavior and that, along with the structure, the spacer can accept compressive loads.
- the degree of compressibility will depend on the particular application for the surgical spacer. For example, if a spacer according to the present invention is used between adjacent spinous processes, the spacer would need to accept compressive loads typically experienced in the posterior region of the spine, for example, up to about 80 shore A.
- the spacer is preferably capable of resisting compressive motion (or loads) with a stiffness of about 40 to about 240 N/mm (newtons per millimeter).
- the material is preferably injectable, and may be compressible immediately or after a time, for example, after curing.
- the compressibility characteristic is necessary during end use, i.e., after implantation.
- Materials that could be used include, for example, a plurality of beads (e.g., polymer beads) that in the aggregate are compressible, or materials that change state from exhibiting fluid properties to exhibiting properties of a solid or semi-solid. Examples of such state-changing materials include two-part curing polymers and adhesive, for example, platinum-catalyzed silicone, epoxy, polyurethane, etc.
- the structure provides support for and containment of the container when filled, as well as at least partial shape control of the spacer.
- the structure comprises, for example, a structural mesh comprising a plurality of fibers and/or wires 408. Within the structural mesh are shape-control fibers and/or wires 410.
- shape control is provided by wires of a shape-memory alloy (e.g., Nitinol).
- shape-memory alloy wire(s) can be coupled to the structural mesh (inside or outside), or weaved into the mesh (i.e., integrated). Coupling can be achieved, for example, by stitching, twisting, or closing the wire on itself.
- shape control can be provided by other wires or fibers that do not "give" in a particular direction, for example, metal or metal alloys (e.g., tantalum, titanium or steel, and non-metals, for example, carbon fiber, PET, polyethylene, polypropalene, etc.).
- the shape-memory alloy can be passive (e.g., superelastic) or active (e.g., body-temperature activated).
- the use of metal, metal alloy or barium coated wires or fibers can also improve radiopacity for imaging.
- the remainder of the structure can take the form of, for example, a fabric jacket, as shown in FIG. 4. Although the shape-memory alloy wires make up only a portion of the structural mesh of FIG.
- the fabric jacket in this example contains and helps protect the container from bulging and damage from forces external to the container, while the shape-memory alloy provides shape control of the spacer in a center region 412.
- the fibers of the jacket comprise, for example, PET fabric, polypropylene fabric, polyethylene fabric and/or steel, titanium or other metal wire.
- the structure may be permeable to a desired degree. For example, if bone or tissue growth is desired to attach to the structure, permeability to the tissue or bone of interest would be appropriate.
- permeability of the structure may be desired to allow the material used to fill the container to evacuate air or water, for example, from the container, in order to prevent bubbles from forming inside.
- a mesh for example, the degree of permeability desired can be achieved by loosening or tightening the weave.
- the structure is shown in a roughly H-shape in the example of FIG. 4, it will be understood that in practice, the structure can be made to be folded, unexpanded, or otherwise compacted. This is particularly true where, for example, the structure comprises a fabric or other easily folded material. A folded or unexpanded state facilitates implantation, allowing for a smaller surgical opening, and unfolding or expansion in situ upon filling of the container. Further, the structure can have a different final shape, depending on the shape-control material used. For example, the shape-memory wires in FIG. 4 may be in their inactive state, whereupon activation by body temperature causes contraction thereof, making the spacer of FIG. 4 "thinner" than shown in the center region.
- FIG. 7 One example of the construction of a structural mesh 700 for use as one example of a structure of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG. 7.
- Two roughly cylindrical members 702 and 704 are sewn together around a periphery 706 of an opening along a side (not shown) in each.
- Each member in this example comprises a fabric mesh (e.g., fabric mesh 714) similar in composition to the fabric jacket of FIG. 4.
- Interwoven with the fabric are a plurality of shape-memory alloy wires both horizontally (e.g., wire 716) and vertically (e.g., wire 718).
- An opening 708 is created in one of the members for accepting the container, for example, by laser cut.
- a conduit described above would poke through opening 708.
- the ends of the cylindrical members e.g., end 710) are then trimmed and sewn shut, as shown in broken lines (e.g., lines 712) in FIG. 7.
- FIG. 5 depicts an outer view of another example of a surgical spacer 500 in accordance with an aspect of the present invention.
- a container conduit 501 is shown pointing outward from an opening 503.
- the structure 502 delimits the final shape of the spacer, in this example, a rough H-shape.
- the structure comprises a mesh 504 of shape-memory alloy wire, that is soaked through with a dispersion polymer 506 (e.g., silicone).
- the dispersion polymer (after curing) acts as the container and is shown filled in FIG. 5.
- This is one example of the container and the structure being integral.
- the mesh of FIG. 5 is described as being all shape-memory alloy wire, it will be understood that, like FIG. 4, the shape-memory alloy could only form a part of the structure.
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of another example of a surgical spacer 600 in accordance with the present invention.
- Surgical spacer 600 is similar to the spacer of FIG. 5, except that instead of being soaked in a dispersion polymer, a structural mesh 602 of a shape-memory alloy wire is coated with a dispersion polymer (e.g., silicone) 604 or other curable liquid appropriate for the container material, creating an outer container.
- a dispersion polymer e.g., silicone
- the coating can be done in a conventional manner, for example, by dip molding on the outside of the mesh.
- FIG. 8 depicts another example of a surgical spacer 800 with an integrated container and structure, in accordance with another aspect of the present invention.
- the container and structure in the example of FIG. 8 both comprise a single layer 802 of rubber that is thick enough for a given application to perform the functions of both the container and structure (including shape control).

- spacer 800 preferably includes a conduit 804 (preferably, a one-way valve) for filling internal space 806.
- the material can be any of the filling materials described above, for example, silicone.
- the thickness of layer 802 is preferably in the range of about 0.2 mm to about 2.5 mm. A layer of rubber of that thickness will contain the material chosen, and, when filled, will sufficiently maintain the shape of the spacer for the intended use.
- the rubber shell of FIG. 8 can be augmented with internal, external, or integrated features to further control shape.
- features include thread, wires (e.g., metal, including shape-memory alloys), cables, tethers, rings or a mesh.
