3di -Model PEEK -Non-Resorbable High Performance Thermoplastic
PEEK was deverlop as non-resorbable high performance thermoplastic for the long-term implantation. Since 2008, 3di GmbH is producing patient specific implants for the cerebral and visceral cranium made of this material. PEEK is intraoperative machinable.
Beside our implant materials BIOVERIT*ll and Titanium we offer you also patient specific implants of PEEK (PEEK-OPTIMA" / PEEK-VESTAKEEP®), a non-resorbable high performance thermoplastic for the long-term implantation. Since 2008, 3di GmbH is producing patient specific implants for the cerebral and visceral cranium made of this material.
- bone-like temperature conductivity
- excellent proven biocompatibility
- intraoperative machinable
- no artefacts when using conventional imaging techniques such as X-Ray, CT/MRI (radiolucent)
- brillant combination between strength, stiffness and viscosity, comparable to cortical bone
- resterilization is possible; all conventional procedures for the sterilization are applicable (Steam, Ethylene oxide and Gamma irradiation)
PEEK is a light grey beige, semi crystalline material,which can be processed with conventional tools with high manufacturing accuracies cutting. It permits the medical user to manufacture most diverse forms.
