Abstract
A B S T R A C T

Description
BACKGROUND OF TH~ INYENTION
,~ The present invention relates to an endoprosthesis of the type defined in the preamble of Claim 1.
~, German Patent No. 2,203,242 discloses such a prosthesis.
,' 5 Its drawback is that the elastic material applied between the cover plates is not completely compatible with the human ~ody ~ since harmful long-term reactions with the surrounding body ¦ ~ tissue cannot be permanently excluded~
! ~ Moreover, U.S. Patent No. 4,759,766, discloses an ¦ ~ 10 intervertebral disk prosthesis in which a rigid spacer is provided between two symmetrical end plates. The end plates are movable relative to one another by the interaction of meshing pairs of convex and concave faces.
~ ~ Here again there exists the drawback that the surfaces s .~ :, -~ 15 rubbing against one another create abrasion particles.

S~ R~ OF THE INVENTIQN
It is the object of the present invention to provide an endoprosthesis of the above-mentioned type in which better ' 3 compatibility with the human body is provided and whicha~ditionally prevents material particles from being released due to frequent alternating stresses and moving around.
~i , Thi~ is accomplished by the present inventlon, which , pxovides an intervertebral disk endoprosthesis filled with ~-~ viscoelastic material and provided with cover plates at its end faces, comprising a circular or elliptical corrugated tube surrounding and contiguous with the viscoelastic material and '', ~ ...

terminated by the cover plates, wherein said cover plates are rigid, and wherein said corrugated tube allows for less constrained tilting of said cover plates and further accommodates the compressive bulging of said viscoelastic material.
The present invention also provides an intervertebral disk . endoprosthesis filled with viscoelastic material and provided with cover plates at its end faces, comprising a circular or elliptical corrugated tube surrounding and contiguous with the -~ viscoelastic material and terminated by the cover plates, wherein at least one of said cover plates is provided with a flange, and wherein said corrugated tube allows for less constrained tilting of said cover plates, and further accommodates the compressive bulging of said viscoelastic material.
The invention is based on the realization that a cuff in the form of a corrugated tube, preferably made of titanium, surrounding the viscoelastic material, on the one hand, provides a body-compatible exterior surface and, on the other hand, a hermetically sealing inclusion.
The corrugated tube is here preferably incorporated in the elastic properties in such a manner that it prevents excessive bulging of the interior body upon compression and thus contributes to its form stability. In particular, the suppression of bulging also prevents painful contact with adjacent nerves.
By filling the viscoelastic material entirely or partially with oriented or unoriented fibers, the viscosity of the elastic interior body can be controlled. An increase .

Claims (21)
1. An intervertebral disk endoprosthesis filled with viscoelastic material and provided with cover plates at its end faces, comprising a circular or elliptical corrugated tube surrounding and contiguous with the viscoelastic material and terminated by the cover plates, wherein said cover plates are rigid, and wherein said corrugated tube allows for less constrained tilting of said cover plates and further accommodates the compressive bulging of said viscoelastic material.
2. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein the corrugated tube is composed of biocompatible metal.
3. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein the viscoelastic material is filled completely or partially with oriented or unoriented fibres.
4. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 3, wherein the filling is inhomogeneous, such that compressibility increases in the direction toward at least one edge region.
5. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein the viscoelastic material includes hardenable, originally liquid, components.
6. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 5, wherein at least one of the cover plates and the corrugated tube are provided with at least one of a closable fill opening and a ventilation opening.
7. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein the corrugated tube is fastened to at least one cover plate by a screwable clamping device.
8. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 7, wherein the clamping device is a clamping ring.
9. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein the corrugated tube is welded to at least one cover plate.
10. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein the corrugated tube has a wall thickness which is variable in one of a transverse direction or the longitudinal direction.
11. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein at least one of the outwardly oriented end faces of the cover plate is provided with at least one of spurs, radial grooves, and circumferential grooves.
12. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein at least one of the outwardly oriented end faces of the cover plates and of the corrugated tube is provided with at least one of a porous, surface area enlarging coating, surface configuration, and surface regions.
13. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein at least one of the outwardly oriented frontal and side faces is provided with embedments of a bioactive material.
14. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 13, wherein the bioactive face is composed of at least one of hydroxyl apatite, polylactide or HIP material.
15. An intervertebral disk endoprosthesis filled with viscoelastic material and provided with cover plates at its end faces, comprising a circular or elliptical corrugated tube surrounding and contiguous with the viscoelastic material and terminated by the cover plates, wherein at least one of said cover plates is provided with a flange, and wherein said corrugated tube allows for less constrained tilting of said cover plates, and further accommodates the compressive bulging of said viscoelastic material.
16. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 15, wherein the flange extends parallel to the centre axis of the corrugated tube.
17. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 16, wherein the flange is provided with a bore.
18. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 17, wherein the direction of the bore diverges from the cover plate toward the centre axis of the corrugated tube so that a screw passing through the bore constitutes a tension screw.
19. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 17, wherein, on the side facing away from the centre axis of the corrugated tube, the bore is provided with a recess for a screw head.
20. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 15, wherein the exterior face of the cover plate is provided with grooves which are oriented perpendicularly to the flange.
21. Endoprosthesis as defined in Claim 1, wherein the exterior of at least one of the cover plates is configured in such a way that it is adapted to the end faces of an adjacent vertebra.
