PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhanced
BENEFITS OF PEEK-OPTIMA™ HA Enhanced
PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced is a material enhancement in spinal device technology. Hydroxyapatite (HA), a well-known osteoconductive material, is fully integrated, not coated, within the PEEK-OPTIMATM matrix, making it available on all surfaces of a device.
Osteoconductive Surface
Fully integrated with hydroxyapatite, on all surfaces, for earlier bone ongrowth and greater new bone formation.1,2
Modulus Similar to Bone
With a modulus close to bone3, PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced reduces stress shielding at a higher rate than titanium.4
Artifact-Free
Imaging
PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced is radiolucent providing unobstructed views for X-ray, CT and MRI imaging techniques

Success Stories
Hear what surgeons are saying about PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced.
Very rapid visible bone fusion occurred in the interbody region in six weeks, according to plain radiographs, with correspondingly good clinical results.
Timothy Bassett, M.D. South Eastern Spine Specialists Tuscaloosa, AL
Clinical and radiographic results as good as or better than traditional PEEK interbody devices, with consistently good outcomes.
Brad G. Prybis, M.D.
I have had several patients recently that probably could have gone home the next day, and a couple that have actually left the day after surgery. They truly look great and there is no reason to keep them. It is a clinical decision, not an insurance one; the HA enhanced PEEK really makes an impact.
