Zeniva® ZA-500 PEEK
- Chemical Family
- Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK)
Zeniva® ZA-500 PEEK is a high-performance specialty polymer known for its remarkable strength, advanced stiffness, and exceptional toughness. Specifically designed for structural, load-bearing implantable medical devices, this bio-stable plastic offers excellent fatigue and creep resistance, ensuring durability under continuous strain and repeated loading. In comparison to metals, it presents advantages such as reduced stress shielding, absence of heavy metal allergies or ion erosion, and radiolucent properties for interference-free X-ray and CT scanning procedures.
