Abstract

The invention relates to a spinal implant consisting of a bone material body which is embodied in a curved manner in its longitudinal direction and is provided with coupling means.

Claims (12)

1. A spinal implant for interbody fusion to the spinal column consist-ing of a body (10, 10', 10", 10"') made from bone material which is curved in the direction of its longitudinal extent, characterized in that, at least one coupling means is provided at at least one end of the body (10, 10', 10", 10"') which is made in one piece with the body (10, 10', 10", 10"') and which serves for the coupling to an extension part (20, 20") provided with a complementary coupling means (22, 24) in order to extend the spinal implant in the direction of its longi-tudinal extent.
2. A spinal implant in accordance with claim 1, characterized in that the body (10, 10', 10", 10"') consists of cortical bone material.
3. A spinal implant in accordance with any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the coupling means (12, 14) is made for shape matched connection to the complementary coupling means (22, 24).
4. A spinal implant in accordance with any one of the preceding claims, characterized in that a first coupling means (12) and a sec-and coupling means (14) are provided at at least one end of the body (10, 10', 10", 10"'), with in particular one coupling means being made as a projection (12) and one coupling means being made as a cut-out (14).
5. A spinal implant in accordance with claim 4, characterized in that respective first and second coupling means (12, 14) are provided at each of the two ends of the body, of which one coupling means is made as a projection (12) and one coupling means (14) is made as a cut-out, with the projection and the cut-out in particular being ar-ranged at one end in different longitudinal planes of the body (10, 10', 10", 10"').
