Disruptive Innovation Trends in the Medical PEEK Market

Evonik VESTAKEEP spine cages

The use of PEEK is disrupting the medical market in new ways through:

  • 3D printing
  • Arthroplasty
  • Processing of Osteoconductive PEEK

In this webinar, orthopedic professionals learn how these trends will influence their future product development initiatives.

With a growing portfolio of VESTAKEEP® grades, Evonik shares its vision for the future of PEEK in three important areas. Evonik’s ability to disrupt the above areas is enabled by:

  • Osteoconductive PEEK allows molding and 3D printing without machining
  • 3D printing grades that enable unprecedented design and manufacturing freedom
  • Differentiated grades of PEEK that could deliver breakthrough wear and cost performance

Implantable PEEK has over two decades of rich clinical success. Biocompatibility, reduced stress shielding, modulus closer to bone, artifact-free imaging and metal-free devices are a few of the features that allow PEEK to shine in many areas.

The end-use applications of implantable PEEK have increased significantly since its original use in spine. New grades and forms of PEEK have been the engine of this growth in the past, and Evonik knows this will continue in the future.
