PEEK in medical grades is a high-performance material that maintains a significant portion of its mechanical properties even at temperatures much above 100 °C. Excellent resilience to conventional sterilising techniques is displayed by PEEK medical grades.
The highest level of safety for medical applications is provided by PEEK medical grades from Ensinger, which also exhibit very good chemical resistance. PEEK medical grades were created especially to satisfy standards for materials used in medical technology.
The Global medical grade PEEK market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Medical-grade PEEK filament for implants was introduced by Evonik. The first PEEK material of a medical-grade that may be used for implant manufacturing and other medical applications has been introduced by the chemical company Evonik as a new 3D printing filament. Based on the already-existing VESTAKEEP i4 G material from Evonik, the new PEEK filament has high viscosity, is biocompatible, biostable, and is transparent to x-rays.
The new filament is created in a clean room setting and goes through stringent quality control procedures to maintain medical standards. It is said to be capable of producing, among other things, orthopaedic or maxillofacial implants.
The creation of the first implant material that is 3D printable opens up new possibilities for patient treatment customization in modern medicine. Examples of fields where this might be used include orthopaedics and maxillofacial surgery.
The foundation for a long-lasting 3D printing revolution in medical technology is a new class of high-performance materials like Evonik’s VESTAKEEP PEEK, together with extremely sophisticated hardware and software and the ideal coupling of materials and machines. In order to increase the selection of 3D printable biomaterials, they will do so gradually.
A natural-coloured filament with a 1.75 mm diameter is offered under the trade name VESTAKEEP i4 3DF. The high performance medicinal material is offered in spools weighing 250 or 500 grams and works with fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers that can handle PEEK.
