PEEK targeting device for trauma surgery

PEEK5600CF30 is a 30% carbon fiber-filled PEEK, which combines the advantages of PEEK and carbon fiber. The property of high-temperature resistance and tensile strength is enhanced greatly, as well as the injectable feature has remained, this targeting device made of PEEK material is used in medical trauma surgery widely.

(I ) PEEK targeting device for humerus intramedullary nail

Component: targeting frame body, side support

Material: PEEK5600CF30 (30% carbon fiber filled PEEK)

Forming process: CNC machining

Product advantages:

1. The original equipment is made of CF/PEEK material. Most of the domestic products are currently processed by PEEK5600CF30, which can not only meet the requirements but also greatly reduce the material cost.

2. The same rack can be used for left and right nails, only need the front and back assembly operation. It has a higher requirement of material processing stability than CF/PEEK. The left and right nails processed by PEEK5600CF30 can achieve precision targeting.

3. Compared with aluminum alloy material, PEEK is X-ray transparent, lightweight, and will not peel off the surface oxide layer. Also with better corrosion resistance.

(II) PEEK targeting device for the femur, tibia intramedullary nail

Component: adjustable targeting frame, a side support for femurs

adjustable targeting frame, cross nail, horizontal support for tibia

Material: PEEK5600CF30 (30% carbon fiber filled PEEK)

Forming process: CNC machining

Product advantages:

1. The femoral and tibia distal aiming frame has a big structure generally. If using metal material, it's very inconvenient for the doctor to operate the heavyweight device. By using PEEK material, 80% of the weight is reduced, which can extremely improve the portability and flexibility of the doctor's operation.

2. The distal end of the lengthening interlocking nail has a certain deformation in the medullary cavity. Because PEEK has good light transmittance, the adjustable structure combined with the PEEK developing rod is more precise and flexible for distal positioning and targeting.

(III) Injection molding PFNA

Component: handle, distance module, proximal module

Material: PEEK5600CF30(30% carbon fiber filled PEEK)

Application: proximal femoral fracture

Forming process: processed the blank shape by injection molded with PEEK5600CF30, processed the hole and datum plane by CNC machining.

Product advantages:

1. Compared with traditional aluminum alloy PFNA, PFNA injection molded by PEEK will not peel off the surface oxide layer.

2. The PFNA made by PEEK is X-ray transparent, making the operation more visible and reducing the risk of surgery.

3. PEEK density is lighter and easier for doctors to use.

4. PEEK has better chemical resistance than aluminum alloy and can accept more solvent disinfection methods.

5. PFNA processed by injection molding has a short production period and low cost, which is more suitable for mass production.

IV) PEEK external fixation

Type: tibia single-arm external fixation, ankle joint external fixation, radial external fixation, combined external fixation, color combined external fixation

Material:PEEK5600CF30(30% carbon fiber filled PEEK ,black),

PEEK5600GF30(30% glass fiber filled PEEK,colored)

Forming process: injection molding with PEEK5600CF30 and PEEK5600GF30

Product advantages:

1. Compared with the traditional metal external fixation, the PEEK one is lighter and can reduce the pain of postoperative recovery.

2. PEEK external fixation is X-ray transparent, making the operation more intuitive.

3. PEEK has better chemical resistance and can accept more solvent disinfection methods.

4. Processed by injection molding and with the fast production cycle, it is more suitable for mass production.
