Abstract:
1. An intervertebral implant comprising a spacer designed to be applied between two spinous processes of two vertebrae, said spacer comprising: two elements made of a first material, each element having a first end and a second end, the first end of each element having an outside wall and including two wings configured to form there between a notch to receive a spinous process, the second end of each element having a securing wall provided with at least one recess, the recess opening out into the outside wall of the first end of the respective element; and a connection piece made of a second material, the second material having sufficient elastic deformability to enable movement of the two elements relative to each other and the second material being configured to bond to said first material, said connection piece being in direct contact with said securing walls of said two elements, said connection piece presenting projections inserted in said recesses so as to increase bonding between said connection piece and said two elements, whereby said connection piece enables said intervertebral implant to limit and brake relative movements of said vertebrae.
