Top 5: 3D Printed Seam Anchor Made from PEKK
Suture anchors serve as crucial fasteners in surgical procedures, enabling the attachment of soft tissue to bone. While traditionally made from titanium due to its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, it can be a costly material. In addressing this challenge, Oxford Performance Materials (OPM) has honed their expertise in manufacturing and processing polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) material. Leveraging the power of selective laser sintering (SLS), OPM now uses this advanced technique to 3D print suture anchors using PEKK. Discover the unique advantages that PEKK brings to this application by watching the informative video below.
