Evonik’s VESTAKEEP® polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implant grade polymer has been validated in the titanium coating processes of Surface Dynamics, a provider of orthopaedic implant coatings. Evonik’s PEEK polymer demonstrated the critical mechanical properties required under FDA consensus standards. This validation was required for Surface Dynamics to include this PEEK polymer in their Master File that resides with FDA.
Many technologies have been developed to promote additional fusion with PEEK, with titanium coating proving to be the most sought-after. Titanium has long been used in the surface coatings of hip and knee replacements.
