Titanium on PEEK

The Problem With PEEK: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) revolutionized the biomedical implant industry, becoming a quick and cost-effective way to manufacture spinal and orthopedic implants due to its mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and more. As PEEK-based medical devices became more prominent, so did the need to ensure these devices integrated well with neighboring tissue.

Transforming PEEK with Titanium: We worked to develop a proprietary process for applying titanium and hydroxyapatite (HA) to PEEK that would improve osseointegration and adhesion while maintaining the integrity of the underlying implant. Our dedicated spinal production cell has extensive experience applying titanium and HA to implements, exceeding industry standards and delivering implants manufacturers can count on.

Hydroxyapatite

Superior Coatings, Shorter Recovery: HA is primarily composed of phosphorous and calcium and is known for how closely it resembles human bone. This coating is highly biocompatible and promotes new bone cell growth, allowing for cementless implants with less pain and a shorter recovery time. This makes it ideal for orthopedic implants, like knees and hips, as well as dental implants.

Titanium

Better Implants, Bonded to Bone: Commercially pure titanium coatings offer exceptional biocompatibility, enabling bone tissue to grow into the implant for strong, long-term fixation. Their rapid osseointegration supports shorter recovery times, reduced pain, and more natural motion. FDA-approved porous titanium coatings also help patients avoid more invasive treatments with lasting side effects.
