Evonik has developed a new osteoconductive polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material for the medical technology market that improves the fusion between human bones and implants
.
Helps bones heal faster and improves quality of life: Evonik is developing a new material for bone conduction implants based on polyetheretherketone (PEEK) for use in medical technology

Helps bones heal faster and improves quality of life
Helps bones heal faster and improves quality of lifeThanks to a special functional additive (biphasic calcium phosphate), the new PEEK biomaterial VESTAKEEP® Fusion has osteoconductive properties that allow bone cells to attach to the implant faster and promote bone-implant bonding.
Full fusion between the two, that is, osseointegration, so as to speed up the speed of bone fusion and rehabilitation
.
As the first product in Evonik's new PEEK biomaterial VESTAKEEP® Fusion series, VESTAKEEP® iC4800 has excellent mechanical properties, very similar to human bone
.
Develop biomaterials for customer-specific needs
Develop biomaterials for customer-specific needsMarc Knebel, Head of Market for Medical Devices and Systems at Evonik, said: “The launch of the new PEEK biomaterial VESTAKEEP® Fusion range is an important step in the strategic development of our product portfolio
.
In addition to the VESTAKEEP® iC4800, Evonik will also develop bioactive, more exclusive, customer-specific biomaterials for customers in the new PEEK Fusion product family, the VESTAKEEP® Fusion Select product
.
Outstanding Thermoforming Process Properties
Outstanding Thermoforming Process PropertiesAvailable in resin pellets, rods and sheets, the VESTAKEEP® Fusion range, like all previous PEEK products, is suitable for a variety of production processes including injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming and machining
.
After conventional injection molding of VESTAKEEP® Fusion, it has been demonstrated that functional additives are distributed on the implant surface without film formation
.
In cooperation with Samaplast, a Swiss company specializing in plastics engineering, Evonik has successfully verified and documented this outstanding property of VESTAKEEP® Fusion in the injection molding process
.
In addition, Evonik's polymer experts are developing a new generation of PEEK 3D printing filaments based on VESTAKEEP® Fusion, which will be used in FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) additive manufacturing technology
.
VESTAKEEP® Fusion, a new non-metallic implant
VESTAKEEP® Fusion, a new non-metallic implantThe VESTAKEEP® Fusion range introduced this time is metal-free and can replace titanium, stainless steel and cobalt-chromium alloy implants
.
VESTAKEEP® Fusion and its osteoconductivity further expand Evonik's existing portfolio of biomaterials for long-term implantation in the human body
.
As a leading global manufacturer of high-performance polymers for medical technology applications for more than two decades, Evonik offers a wide range of biomaterials for the manufacture of medical devices that can come into contact with the human body in the short or long term
