Innovative Applications of Medical PEEK in the Field of Medical Implants


PEEK, with its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, biocompatibility, and X-ray transparency, shows a wide range of application prospects in the medical industry.


Spinal Surgery: Medical PEEK Inter-body Fusion Device


Medical PEEK is widely used in spinal inter-body fusion devices and fixation systems. Its high strength and X-ray transparency make it an ideal material for spinal surgery. Medical PEEK inter-body fusion devices provide robust support while reducing metal artifacts in radiological exams, aiding post-operative monitoring.


Cranial Surgery: Medical PEEK Maxillofacial and Cranial Implants


Medical PEEK maxillofacial and cranial implants are advanced repair solutions made of polyetheretherketone (Medical PEEK). Due to its exceptional biocompatibility and chemical stability, it is widely used for repairing maxillofacial and cranial defects caused by various reasons. Through 3D printing technology, Medical PEEK implants can be precisely tailored to the patient's individual defect, achieving accurate repair and restoring the appearance and function of the maxillofacial and cranial regions, providing higher comfort and aesthetic satisfaction for patients.


Dental Replacements: Medical PEEK Dental Implants


Medical PEEK has been very successful in dental implants, especially for dental implants and crowns. Its excellent biocompatibility and wear resistance make it an ideal material for dental implants. Medical PEEK dental implants can withstand the chewing pressure inside the mouth and integrate well with the surrounding bone tissue, providing long-term stability.


Knee Surgery: Medical PEEK Meniscal Implants


Knee ligament surgery is an important method for treating knee injuries, where interface screws act as essential consumables. Currently, there are three main materials for interface screws on the market: metal, Medical PEEK, and absorbable materials. Medical PEEK has gradually replaced metal to become the mainstream material for interface screws in knee ligament surgery. Compared to metal, Medical PEEK interface screws also have excellent mechanical strength, meeting the fixation needs during surgery. Unlike metal interface screws that require a second surgery for removal, Medical PEEK interface screws do not require another operation, reducing patient pain and recovery time. Although absorbable material interface screws do not need to be removed in a second surgery, their low mechanical strength poses risks of loosening and inflammation, thus their clinical use is relatively limited.


Left Renal Vein Compression Syndrome: Medical PEEK


Medical PEEK is mainly used in cardiovascular devices, medical catheters, minimally invasive ventricular enhancement surgeries, and other areas in the medical vascular field. These applications not only improve medical outcomes but also alleviate patient pain and discomfort, contributing significantly to the development of the medical vascular field.


Medical PEEK: Cochlear Implants


In the field of hearing devices, Medical PEEK also demonstrates excellent performance. Its superior mechanical properties and chemical resistance make it an important material for making hearing aids and other hearing devices. Hearing devices made from Medical PEEK material are not only durable but also comfortable to wear and less likely to cause skin allergies.


From spinal surgery to skeletal replacements, to dental and knee replacements, Medical PEEK materials provide a solid foundation for advancements in modern medical technology. With ongoing research and technological development, Medical PEEK will play an increasingly important role in the medical field, bringing more benefits to patients.
