PEEK-Designed for Long Term Implants

  • Designed to meet stringent medical product performance criteria, PEEK-Medical grade polymer is the newest member of the PEEK polymer family of polyaryletherketone resins. 

  • It is stronger, can stand up to more aggressive environments, performs better in steam, and maintains impact properties over a broader range of temperatures. 

  • Since PEEK has the stiffness which can match that of human bone, the material can be used in long-term applications such as hip, spinal, and dental implants. In addition, the polymer's inherent lubricity helps prevent implants from cavitating on the bone, which is especially important for hip implants. 

  • PEEK can fill very thin walls in products such as heart valve components. 

  • Because of its combination of strength and stiffness, manufacturers can use less of it than other plastics to achieve the same stiffness.
