A spinal disc annulus repair stent for repair and reconstruction of the
spinal disc wall (annulus) after surgical invasion or pathologic rupture,
which may incorporate suture closure or other means of stent insertion
and fixation, designed to reduce the failure rate of conventional
surgical procedures on the spinal discs. In an illustrative embodiment,
the design of the spinal disc annulus stent advantageously allows
ingrowth of normal cells of healing in an enhanced fashion strengthening
the normal reparative process.
