Product Description
PEEK Patient Specific Implant (PSI) for Craniomaxillofacial Repair and Fixation provides an improved solution for patients with cranio-maxillofacial defects. Our technology and craftsmanship produce a perfect match to the specific anatomical requirement in a custom implant.
PEEK can be designed and provided in single or multiple pieces with just-fit or over-lay concepts. Additionally, this patient-specific implant can be reliably fixated using standard cranial fixation systems.
Excellent Biocompatibility
Non-cytotoxic, corrosion resistance, non-carcinogenic, non-conductive, and hydrolysis resistance. Capable of sustaining repeated steam, ETO sterilization, and Gamma irradiation.
Outstanding Bio-Mechanical Character
Exceeding tensile strength compared to native bone, providing better protection to the cerebrum and effectively distracting stress during deformity.
Better Imaging Compatibility
Non-Magnetic and highly translucent to X-rays. CT/MRI imaging diagnosis can be performed without scattering or artifacts.
Perfect Contour Reconstruction
CAD/CAM technology allows for the restoration of defect models and reconstruction of the natural contour of the brain for precise fitting.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is a PEEK Patient Specific Implant (PSI)?
A PEEK PSI is a custom-made implant designed specifically for an individual patient's anatomical needs using CAD/CAM technology, primarily used for craniomaxillofacial reconstruction.
2. Why choose PEEK over traditional metal implants?
PEEK offers superior biocompatibility, matches the mechanical properties of human bone better than most metals, and is radiolucent, meaning it does not interfere with CT or MRI scans.
3. Is the material safe for long-term implantation?
Yes, medical-grade PEEK is non-cytotoxic, non-carcinogenic, and has high resistance to hydrolysis and corrosion, making it ideal for permanent clinical use.
4. How is the custom contour achieved?
We use advanced CAD/CAM technology to process the patient's medical imaging data, allowing us to reconstruct the precise natural contour of the defect area.
5. Can these implants be sterilized?
Yes, PEEK implants are highly durable and can withstand repeated steam sterilization, ETO sterilization, and Gamma irradiation without degrading.
6. Does it cause artifacts in MRI or CT scans?
No, unlike titanium or other metal implants, PEEK is non-magnetic and highly translucent to X-rays, ensuring clear diagnostic imaging without scattering artifacts.
