Success Stories
Hear what our partners have to say
Innovation and absolute responsiveness are what matters to NuVasive™ and our customers. We work with Invibio because they consistently deliver results in all of these areas.
NuVasive, Global Spinal Device Company
Our goal is to partner with industry leaders across all spectrums and we are excited to be a part of this pioneering material and process.
Meditech Spine, Spinal Device Company
Throughout the product development and clinical adoption of our PEEK-OPTIMA semi-rigid rods, Invibio was a great help to our company. Invibio invited, for example, overseas clinical experts to China to exchange experience in PEEK-OPTIMA based semi-rigid rod techniques. We appreciate the value of our relationship with Invibio, and we hope to continue our collaboration.
Weigao Orthopaedic Device Co., Chinese Spinal Device Company
The integration of two proven biomaterials combined with cutting edge designs and the largest range of footprints in the market is truly a game changer. Our strategic partnership with Invibio Biomaterial Solutions made it possible, and was key to obtaining FDA clearance. We look forward to the impact that the EVOS System will have on fusion rates, and ultimately, patient care.

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.
PEEK-OPTIMA™ Natural
PEEK-OPTIMA™ Natural
For 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:
- Spinal Rods in pedicle screw systems
- Spinal arthroplasty discs
- Anterior column plates
These inherent material characteristics include:
- Modulus similar to bone – less stiff compared to bone, making it a good fit for applications where load sharing is desired to promote bone remodeling
- Reduced stress shielding – helps to reduce the loss of bone mass as normal stress is removed from the bone by an implant
- Radiolucency - artifact-free imaging in X-rays, CT and MRI scans, making it a good option when unobstructed views are required to assess healing or disease progression
PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhanced
PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhanced
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
PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced devices including:1
- Solid fusions as early as 6 months
- Dense bone apposition at the bone implant interface
- Improvements in overall pain and neurological function
- Positive clinical outcomes at early time points
