Abstract
The bone implant is formed of a plastic body having a multi-layer wire fabric secured to the outside surface. A separating layer is disposed between the wire fabric and two wire layers embedded within the plastic body. The separating layer serves to block the ingrowing bone tissue from contact with the plastic body while embedded layers are securely enveloped by the plastic of the body to prevent a break out of the fabric.
