Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An intervertebral disc implant ( 10 ) includes an envelope ( 12 ) of a stretchable and elastically deformable elastomeric material. The envelope includes an attaching formation ( 74 ) for attachment of an introducer ( 76 ) to enable the envelope, in a collapsed state, to be introduced into a volume of an intervertebral disc that has undergone a nucleotomy. A filler material ( 14 ) is receivable in the envelope via the introducer to cause the envelope to expand elastically to conform substantially to the volume in which the envelope is received.
