Abstract

An implant for forming a prosthetic invertebral disc nucleus pulposus comprises a conformable material adapted to fill cavities within the disc and to be cured in-situ to form a resiliently deformed prosthesis. Suitable materials are those which cure or cross-link upon contact with water, e.g. body moisture, such as isocyanate functionalised prepolymers and silane functionalised polymers or precursors.
