Instead of total disc replacement, another approach is the replacement or reinforcement of the nucleus pulposus (NP) at the center of the disc with a material that can re-inflate the disc to restore disc height and function. Materials tested include stainless steel ball bearings, polymethylmethacrylate, and silicon, all without much success. More recently, NP implants have been made from cycle-6 cryogels fabricated from a mixture of PVA and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) with a ratio varying from 1 to 5 % by weight. The implants have been tested and found to better match the physical properties of the NP [92]. [Pg.307]
