Medical Equipment

Medical equipment are required to have high mechanical strength, good stress resistance, hydrolytic stability, radiation resistance, low particle formation, wear resistance and corrosion resistance under conditions of hot water, steam, solvents and chemical reagents. PEEK-made medical equipment that can be autoclaved at high temperatures has the advantages of light weight, non-toxicity, corrosion resistance etc.

Advantages of PEEK materials in medical device applications

Lower elastic modulus, closer to bone, can prevent stress shielding effect and maintain strength of surrounding bones
It can penetrate X-rays and is not visible during CT and MRI scans, making it easier to evaluate bone growth and healing processes
Excellent disinfection performance
Good biocompatibility, implantation materials must be non-toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, and not cause allergies
Greater design freedom, which can be easily machined from semi-finished blanks or formed through injection molding
