- HIGHLIGHTS
TAILORED STIFFNESS; Tailored modulus of elasticity results in less rigid treatments than all-metal equivalents.; EARLIER AND GREATER CALLUS FORMATION; Demonstrated in pre-clinical testing with implants made of PEEK-OPTIMA Ultra-Reinforced throughout the 12 week study period - particularly within the initial 6 week period.; 50X GREATER FATIGUE RESISTANCE; May provide an increased window of opportunity for healing to occur before fatigue-induced implant failure can occur.
