Materials - INVADUR® OXPEKK®

WHAT IS INVADUR® OXPEKK®?

INVADUR® OXPEKK® is our branded trademark for our proprietary high performance materials & products based on Poly Ether Ketone Ketone (PEKK) polymer technology. INVADUR® OXPEKK® belongs to the family of polyaryl ether ketones (also called PAEKs) known for its high chemical and temperature resistance, high molecular weight and strong mechanical properties. In the group of PAEKs, even more in the world of polymers, INVADUR® OXPEKK® is at the top.

INVADUR® OXPEKK® FOR MEDICAL DEVICES Our INVADUR® OXPEKK®-IG material is designed to meet the United States FDA and the European Union normative requirements for use in Long Term Human Implantable Medical Devices. INVADUR® OXPEKK®-IG has been tested according to ISO 10993. The biocompatibility test data and exhaustive analytical extraction studies are included in our restricted FDA Master File. With its ultimate purity and inherent mechanical and structural properties, INVADUR® OXPEKK®-IG has rapidly become an enabling biomaterial for the fast-growing orthopedic and reconstructive surgery industries.
