Results for tag: "PEEK Implants"

Within the domain of orthopedic devices, PEEK (polyether ether ketone) implants represent a specialized category of medical implants extensively used in spinal, arthroscopic, and trauma-related surgeries. PEEK is regarded for its biocompatibility, chemical resistance, and mechanical properties that mimic the elasticity of human bone, reducing stress shielding where bone atrophy occurs due to a mismatch between the stiffness of metal implants and bone. These implants are designed to provide stability and support in various orthopedic procedures, promoting bone growth and allowing for better imaging post-intervention due to its radiolucent nature, which minimally interferes with MRI and CT scans. The PEEK implants market consists of several established and emerging companies focusing on orthopedic solutions. These businesses engage in continuous research and development to improve the functionality and integration of PEEK materials with the human body. Some notable players in the PEEK implants market include Invibio Biomaterial Solutions, Stryker Corporation, DePuy Synthes (a Johnson & Johnson company), Zimmer Biomet Holdings Inc., and Medtronic Plc. These companies offer a wide range of PEEK-based implants and devices, contributing to advances in orthopedic care and improved patient outcomes. Show Less Read more
