Product Description
PEEK Patient Specific Implant (PSI) for Craniomaxillofacial Repair and Fixation
PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone) Patient Specific Implant provides an improved solution for patients with a cranio-maxillofacial defect. Our technology and craftsmanship produce a perfect match to the specific anatomical requirement in a custom implant.
PEEK can be designed and provided in single or multiple pieces with just-fit or over-lay concept. Additionally, this patient specific implant can be reliably fixated using cranial fixation systems.
⭐
Excellent Biocompatibility
Non-cytotoxic, corrosion resistance, non-carcinogenic, non-conductive and hydrolysis resistance. Capable to sustain repeated steam, ETO sterilization and Gamma irradiation.
🛡️
Outstanding Bio-Mechanical Character
Exceeding tensile strength to the native bone and provide better protection to the cerebrum. Comparable mechanical strength to artificial bone.
🔍
Better Imaging Compatibility
Non-Magnetic and highly translucent to X-ray. CT/MRI imaging diagnosis without scattering or artifacts.
📐
Perfect Contour Reconstruction
Precisely match the natural contour and convenient to implant. CAD/CAM technology allows to restore defect models accurately.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are the primary applications of the PEEK PSI?
The PEEK Patient Specific Implant is primarily used for craniomaxillofacial repair, reconstruction of bone defects, and fixing fractures to restore natural anatomical contours.
2. Is the PEEK material safe for medical use?
Yes, it features excellent biocompatibility. It is non-cytotoxic, non-carcinogenic, and highly resistant to corrosion and hydrolysis, making it ideal for long-term implantation.
3. Does the implant interfere with CT or MRI scans?
No. PEEK is non-magnetic and highly translucent to X-rays, allowing for clear CT and MRI imaging without the scattering or artifacts typically caused by metal implants.
4. How is the custom fit achieved for each patient?
We utilize advanced CAD/CAM technology to restore defect models and reconstruct the natural contour of the patient's brain or face, ensuring a "just-fit" result.
5. Can these implants be sterilized?
Yes, PEEK implants are highly durable and can withstand repeated steam sterilization, Ethylene Oxide (ETO) sterilization, and Gamma irradiation.
6. How does PEEK compare to traditional titanium implants?
PEEK offers comparable mechanical strength to artificial bone and native tissue while providing better imaging compatibility and a clinical complication rate comparable to titanium.
