Described are medical devices for supporting or inducing bone growth
including an implant body defining one or more separation-assist lines
that facilitate separation of the body into two or more substantially
pre-defined pieces. The implant body can be used and implanted as a whole
or may be separated into multiple pieces, some or all of which can be
used at one or multiple implant sites in a patient. Separation-assist
lines in implant bodies can serve a dual role in imparting increased and
controlled flexibility to the overall body when used as a whole at an
implant site. Also described are methods of making and using, and kits
including, such medical devices.
