Anclajes PEEK para medicina deportiva
PEEK suture rivets have been widely used in sports medicine, mainly for the treatment of rotator cuff, ligament tears or other intra-articular injuries. Traditional metal rivets are prone to complications such as loosening, pull-out and cartilage damage, and the emergence of high-strength sutures increases the load on the suture rivet joint, thereby increasing the risk of cutting the joint. PEEK suture rivets can avoid these problems. At the same time, compared with absorbable rivets, PEEK has higher strength and X-ray penetration, and there is no need to worry about metal artifacts during postoperative examinations. Its elastic modulus is between cortical bone and cancellous bone, which can reduce stress shielding and promote bone healing.
Features
- 01 The anchor is made of PEEK material, which is high in strength and radiolucent. The image will be clearer during CT examination, and the repair condition after treatment can be seen.
- 02Special thread design, easy to knock in, higher pull-out resistance, safe fixation.
- 03The thread surface is specially designed to facilitate bone ingrowth.
- 04Resistant to high temperatures and poor heat conduction, PEEK material repairs are more comfortable.
- 05PEEK material has good biocompatibility and its modulus is similar to that of human bones.
- 06 The matching suture has a good feel, is easy to tie, and has a tensile strength 15% higher than similar products.
