WHY ORTHO SPECIALISTS CHOOSE OUR POLYMER SOLUTIONS
Devices made from our high performance polymers are proven to offer improved biomechanics and comfort.
BONE-LIKE MODULUS
PEEK-OPTIMATM features a modulus similar to human bone which reduces stress shielding and leads to improved physiological loading.1
BIOCOMPATIBILITY
PEEK-OPTIMATM - biocompatibility in conformance with ISO 10993-1 for use in the manufacture of medical devices for long-term implantable orthopedic applications.2
WEAR PERFORMANCE
PEEK-OPTIMATM polymer’s superior wear performance offers an alternative load-bearing material to metal designed to address metal ion concerns.3

ORTHO Applications
Our biomaterial solutions are proven in arthroplasty and arthroscopy applications to improve patient satisfaction and long-term positive outcomes.
Peek-optima™ natural
PEEK-OPTIMA™ polymer blends proven performance with superior wear, safety and comfort and has properties that are closer to bone than metal, so there is less stress shielding.1 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.
