Spinal Applications
Our innovative, biocompatible PEEK-OPTIMA polymer solutions are used by medical device manufacturers around the world and offer the potential to improve clinical outcomes. Learn more about the applications and how these materials are used.
peek-optima™ materials
PEEK-OPTIMA™ polymer blends proven performance with superior wear, safety and comfort. Since Invibio introduced PEEK-OPTIMA as the first implantable PEEK polymer in 1999, it has earned the confidence and gained the acceptance of the global medical community.
For over 20 years, the high-performance implant-grade polymer PEEK-OPTIMA Natural has been utilized in spinal fusion applications, predominantly in the form of load-bearing interbody fusion devices. Since its introduction it has earned the confidence and gained the acceptance of the global medical community. The properties that make PEEK-OPTIMA Natural polymer one of the leading interbody fusion biomaterials also makes it promising for use in other spinal devices such as:
These inherent material characteristics include:
This innovative polymer, PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced, is the latest development in high performance materials for interbody fusion devices. Hydroxyapatite (HA), a well-known osteoconductive material that enhances bone apposition is fully integrated, not coated, into the PEEK-OPTIMA matrix making it available on all surfaces of a finished device.
Early clinical results from a multi-patient cervical and lumbar fusion case series has indicated potential benefits with
