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.
Key Features
✓
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 provides better protection to the cerebrum. Comparable mechanical strength to artificial bone and capable to distract stress effectively when deformity occurs.
👁
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 for restoring defect models and reconstructing the natural contour of the brain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What are the main benefits of using PEEK for cranial implants?
A: PEEK offers excellent biocompatibility, mechanical strength similar to natural bone, and is fully compatible with CT and MRI imaging without causing artifacts.
Q2: Is the implant custom-made for each patient?
A: Yes, we use CAD/CAM technology to design and manufacture Patient Specific Implants (PSI) that perfectly match the individual's anatomical requirements.
Q3: Can these implants be sterilized?
A: Absolutely. PEEK material is designed to withstand repeated steam sterilization, ETO sterilization, and Gamma irradiation.
Q4: How does PEEK compare to Titanium in clinical outcomes?
A: Clinical literature shows that complication rates for PEEK implants are comparable to Titanium, but PEEK offers superior imaging translucency and thermal insulation.
Q5: What is your production capacity for these implants?
A: We have a production capacity of approximately 50,000 pieces per year, ensuring reliable supply for clinical needs.
Q6: Are the implants compatible with existing fixation systems?
A: Yes, these patient-specific implants are designed to be reliably fixated using standard cranial fixation systems.
