PEEK Cranial Implants | PEEK Custom Cranial Implant | PEEK Implant Skull

PEEK cranial implants are used so largely in cranioplasty due to their material properties in comparison with titanium.
Due to its properties like biocompatibility, strength, and flexibility, PEEK can be recommended for use in cranial implants because it provides advantages over metal in terms of weight and workability in surgery.

What are the benefits of a PEEK cranial implants?

  • there are some additional benefits of making implants from PEEK compared to the classic titanium, for instance, PEEK parts are lighter. They are electrically insulating with an external look resembling the natural bone structure to promote the patient's comfort. They do not depend on air humidity and temperature, so these problems hardly influence them.
  • PEEK Cranial implants are ray transmissible, therefore, do not hinder the visualization of healing sites and imaging methods.
  • PEEK Cranial implants Excellent antibacterial properties.
  • A higher prospect of mobilizing to enhance the formation of bones.
  • Another beneficial characteristic to speaking of PEEK cranial implants is that; PEEK demonstrated possessing good characteristics such as wear resistance; and fatigue resistance; for chemical attacks, PEEK has good chemical resistance towards organic substances; acids, and alkalis.
  • Polyether ether ketone cranial implants are characterized by fatigue behavior that means the change of mechanical properties depending on temperature, nonetheless, the implants preserve stability at different temperature conditions.
  • PEEK also exhibits high-temperature stability with a Tg of 143°C as a result it can undergo sterilization by autoclave in hospitals. This removes the need for the other forms such as the gas sterilization or ethylene oxide sterilization of devices, making the process of preparing for surgery easier.
  • Due to the similar mechanical properties to natural bone, PEEK cranial implants are ideal; non-thermal conductivity contributes to patients’ comfort.
  • peek is itself completely insoluble in most polymer solvents and is not hydrolytically degraded at elevated temperatures.
  • It is noteworthy that PEEK implants can be sterilized and used more than once.
  • PEEK would also make for a much better material than titanium not only because it is so much easier to work with and so much lighter too but because it provides enough strength to shield the brain.
  • PEEK implants are more suitable for the cranial region since these are synthesized to have the equivalent mechanical properties that of the cranial bones.
  • Compared to the regular types of cranial implants which are made of titanium, for instance, PEEK cranial implants can be designed and produced in 3D design and printing. This customization results in a better anatomical match, and less intra-operational manipulation thus saving time.
