In Vivo Biostability Study on a Polyaryletherketone Biomaterial

Developed specifically for the implant market, the unfilled (natural) material is a high strength, chemically stable and biocompatible thermoplastic polymer offered as standard, medium and low viscosity grades. PEEK-OPTIMA polymer is already being used for implants in Europe and the US.

Interphalangeal Arthrodesis of the Toe With a New Radiolucent Intramedullary Implant (Toegrip)

Averous, et al (2015) demonstrate how a new a new generation of radiolucent implants offer a good immediate mechanical stability, adequate deformity correction, and a high rate of consolidation (83%) and patient satisfaction at 94%.

Use of Poly (Ether Ether Ketone) Cages in Foot and Ankle Surgery

PEEK cages are an effective alternative when structural bone graft is needed for different fusions around the foot and ankle. Bone fusion rates are high when PEEK cages are filled with autologous bone. No difference in consolidation time in patients and nerve damage, residual pain at the donor site, and cosmetic problems are avoided. No risk of transmission of hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV when using PEEK cages.
