VESTAKEEP® PEEK biomaterials from Evonik for permanent medical implants

The special combination of properties in VESTAKEEP® i-Grade PEEK polymers makes them the material of choice for implants. Almost everywhere in the body they provide maximum freedom of movement for patients on an extended basis and improved processability for manufacturers.

Applications for VESTAKEEP® PEEK Implants

Spine - Because of its bone-like mechanical properties and X-ray transparency, PEEK is the material of choice in many spinal implant applications. Its transparency is an advantage for doctors and patients, by using imaging methods for more accurate implant placement, and monitoring of the healing process.

Cranial-Maxillo-Facial - PEEK implants for maxillofacial surgery and cervical vertebrae are easier to manufacture than metal or cobalt chrome. Due to the low thermal conductivity of PEEK, patients have less sensitivity to temperature changes.
