Abstract

A template for use in producing an implant for use in spinal or other orthopedic fixation is provided, where the template is adjustable between a first configuration in which the template is capable of bending in response to a force and is capable of retaining a bent shape, and a second configuration in which the template assumes a memorized shape in response to directing the temperature of the template to value that is at or above a recovery level, where the recovery level is above body temperature. A spinal or orthopedic implant is formed by duplicating the bent shape of the template.
