Invibio Biomaterial Solutions Launches Enhanced PEEK-OPTIMA HA Polymer

Invibio Biomaterial Solutions has launched the PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced Polymer, a combination of the PEEK-based biomaterial and Hydroxyapatite, an osteoconductive material. The addition of HA was made after surgeon feedback indicated that bone ongrowth on all sides of the PEEK device could be more effective.

A pre-clinical Invibio study using a sheep model showed that within four weeks of implantation, the PEEK-OPTIMA HA Enhanced Polymer demonstrated enhanced bone apposition compared to PEEK-OPTIMA. After 12 weeks, the bone apposition levels are maintained with the new grade.
