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 as indicated above. Additionally, this patient specific implant can be reliably fixated using cranial fixation systems.
Core 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 compared to native bone, providing superior protection to the cerebrum. Comparable mechanical strength to artificial bone to effectively distract stress effects.
🔍
Better Imaging Compatibility
Non-Magnetic and highly translucent to X-ray. CT/MRI imaging diagnosis is possible without scattering or artifacts.
🧬
Perfect Contour Reconstruction
Precisely matches natural contours for convenient implantation. CAD/CAM technology allows the restoration of defect models to reconstruct the natural brain contour.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PEEK Patient Specific Implant (PSI)?
It is a custom-made implant designed using CAD/CAM technology to perfectly match a patient's specific anatomical cranio-maxillofacial defect, ensuring a precise fit and natural contour.
Is the material safe for the human body?
Yes, PEEK is a medical-grade material with excellent biocompatibility. It is non-cytotoxic, non-carcinogenic, and highly resistant to corrosion and hydrolysis.
Can I undergo an MRI or CT scan with this implant?
Absolutely. PEEK is non-magnetic and X-ray translucent, meaning it does not cause scattering or artifacts in CT or MRI imaging, allowing for clear postoperative diagnosis.
How is the implant fixed to the skull?
These implants are designed to be reliably secured using standard cranial fixation systems, such as titanium screws and plates.
Does PEEK provide enough protection for the brain?
Yes, PEEK has outstanding bio-mechanical properties. Its tensile strength exceeds that of native bone, providing robust protection for the cerebrum.
Is OEM service available?
Yes, we accept OEM requests to provide customized solutions based on specific clinical and surgical requirements.
