HTR-PEKK
Patient-Matched Cranial Implant
Precision-engineered for optimal fit and performance. Harnessing the mechanical properties akin to native bone, it ensures strength, flexibility, and unmatched biocompatibility. Experience innovation in cranial implants.
PEKK (poly-ether-ketone-ketone)
PEKK is a biocompatible material from the same polymer family as PEEK. This family of materials has been utilised in orthopaedics and trauma since the 1980s.
​
PEKK exhibits exceptional mechanical properties, including high strength and stiffness. This makes it capable of withstanding the mechanical stresses experienced within the cranial environment. Its strength ensures the implant can support and protect the surrounding tissues effectively.
​
PEKK is also radiolucent, meaning it allows X-rays and other forms of radiation to pass through with minimal attenuation. This property enables clear imaging of the underlying tissues post-implantation, facilitating medical monitoring without interference from the implant material.
HTR-PEKK offers:
High mechanical strength
A high strength material with compressive strength of 24.9 Ksi¹.
Hydrophilic properties
Allows for the implant to be placed in a suitable antibiotic solution prior to implantation.
Proven biocompatibility
PEKK material is from same polymer family as PEEK which has been utilized in Orthopaedics and Trauma since the 1980's.
