An interspinous spacer for placement between adjacent spinous processes
includes a flexible, fillable container (e.g., a bag or balloon) for
containing a material that is compressible during end use, for example,
silicone after curing. The container is impermeable to the material it
will be filled with. A fabric mesh, for example, made of PET fabric,
provides structure for and containment of the container. The material can
be injected into the container through an optional conduit, for example,
a one-way valve.
