Abstract

The present invention relates to a belt-type wrinkled band used for healing a hernia of intervertebral disk or protection the intervertebral disk. In particular, the expansion and contraction by air-injection can be achieved, without using a rubber tube for the contraction and expansion.

Claims

1. A method of manufacturing a wrinkled band, wherein the outer peripheral rim of an overlapped adhesion sheet is adhered and simultaneously an adhesion line having an air passage is formed with certain regularity in the inner side face thereof, another adhesion line forms a respective vent hole and secures an inner space in-between, and above and below the secured inner space a connection adhesion band 5 with an elastic band 6 connected thereto is adhered by an outer peripheral line, with the elastic band being stretched.

2. The method according to claim 1, wherein, in the case where the connection adhesion band 5 is adhered with the outer peripheral line 1a, a boundary portion 3, where the elastic band 6 and the connection adhesion band 5 are connected, is primarily pressurized and fixed by a pressurizing means 7 of a high-frequency die, and thereafter the connection adhesion band is adhered with an adhesion surface and then cooling is performed by a cooling means.

3. The method according to claim 2, wherein the pressurizing means 7 is made of an elastic body and directly mounted on the high-frequency operating die 8.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the vent hole is formed in such a way to be offset from a corresponding vent hole.

5. The method according to claim 2, wherein the connection adhesion band is hung on a connecting portion of a mounting die of the high-frequency die such that the stretched state of the elastic band is maintained.

6. The method according to claim 2, wherein the connection band is constructed in a band-type in such a manner that a strip-like thing is fined into an elastic band of band-type and then its leading end is adhered.
