Abstract

An improved pultrusion process for preparing composite materials having about 10 percent to about 45 percent by volume of reinforcing fibers so as to produce a composite material having enhanced flexibility as compared with composite materials having a higher percent of reinforcing fibers by volume. Articles of manufacture made from composite material produced by the improved pultrusion process, specifically spinal implants, are also provided.
