THE
THE
ADVANTAGE
• Bone-like stiffness reduces the occurrence of stress shielding
while enhancing bone healing. The stress that would normally
be placed on the bone does not concentrate in the implant
and, therefore, bone absorption is less likely to occur, leading to
better long term fixation.
• Closer mechanical properties to cortical bone
than titanium or biocomposites
• 100% inert to avoid allergic reactions
• 2X stronger than natural PEEK materials used in most suture
anchors
• Proven biocompatibility to ensure safe long-term implantation
• Easily removable in revision surgeries
• Radiolucent on X-rays and CT Scans and is MR safe – less imaging affect
