Description

Technical Field

[0002] Traditional skull implant surgeries usually use high-hardness and light-weight titanium alloys, or implant-grade PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) processed and formed according to the shape of the bone defect site to repair injuries or fill gaps. However, after the titanium mesh is shaped and implanted, situations such as warping and edge protrusion are likely to occur, which may cause problems such as tissue infection, and there is an artifact phenomenon during postoperative CT examination, affecting the examination results; at the same time, it also has the disadvantages of good thermal conductivity and easy deformation under force; the craniofacial implant made of implant-grade PEEK (polyetheretherketone for surgical implants) basically completely matches the bone defect site, has good mechanical strength, and is not easily deformed by external forces; there is no artifact phenomenon in postoperative CT examinations; but because it is completely biocompatible and will not grow together with bone tissue, it will only be regarded as a foreign body by the human body and generate a fibrous membrane wrapping phenomenon.
