Syensqo’s PEEK enables lightweight, precise orthopedic surgical guide
Syensqo has collaborated with Hanisch Medical and TechImport, two leading Brazilian health technology companies, to develop a new generation of lighter, more radio-transparent orthopedic surgical guides with use of Syensqo’s high-performance, medical-grade KetaSpire PEEK.
Syensqo’s high-performance, medical-grade KetaSpire PEEK for orthopedic surgical guides.
For a long time, the rigidity and weight of metal have limited the evolution of surgical guides. The new guides, developed in Brazil, are up to 70% lighter than traditional metal versions, while maintaining equivalent strength and durability.
Syensqo’s KetaSpire PEEK revolutionizes radio-transparency of the material. Unlike metal, this advanced polymer does not interfere with intraoperative imaging such as X-rays, delivering:
Greater precision: Surgeons benefit from a clear, unobstructed view, ensuring exact positioning.
Optimized efficiency: Reduced procedure times and increased surgical confidence.
Enhanced ergonomics: The ultra-light design minimizes surgeon fatigue, which is crucial during lengthy procedures.
Manufactured with Syensqo’s high quality polymer, the new guides are fully compatible with all major sterilization methods, including steam, ethylene oxide, and gamma radiation, ensuring reliability and consistent performance in any surgical environment.
