Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of orthopedics and sports medicine, and in particular to an implantable PEEK anchor. Background Technology
[0002] PEEK anchors are implants used in arthroscopic surgery. In orthopedics and sports medicine, the repair of soft tissue-bone connections has always been a clinical challenge. Traditional metal anchors suffer from poor biocompatibility, easy loosening, and potential damage to surrounding tissues, while absorbable anchors have drawbacks such as unstable degradation rates and insufficient mechanical strength. Therefore, developing an implantable anchor with both excellent biocompatibility and good mechanical properties has become an urgent need. Current implantable PEEK anchors can generally meet the needs of users, but some problems still exist, as described below: Traditional metal anchors suffer from poor biocompatibility, easy loosening, and potential damage to surrounding tissues, while absorbable anchors have drawbacks such as unstable degradation rates and insufficient mechanical strength.

[0017] The implantable PEEK anchor provided by this utility model has the following advantages: the spiral structure can be wound around the anchor body, and both the anchor body and the spiral ring can be made of PEEK material. PEEK is a polyether ether ketone material, which has the advantages of high strength and toughness, bone fusion promotion, postoperative comfort and easy processing and sterilization.
[0018] A spiral ring is installed on the outside of the anchor body. The spiral ring can be wrapped around the outside of the anchor body and can be positioned and fixed by a positioning block.

The threaded block 901 can be screwed into the threaded groove 902 to fix the top plate 7 to the top of the anchor body 1. The groove 8 is cross-shaped, which makes it easy to rotate the top plate 7 with a screwdriver. When it is necessary to disassemble the top plate 7, the top plate 7 can be screwed to unscrew the threaded block 901 out of the threaded groove 902 for disassembly. The rubber ring 903 is made of rubber material and can enhance the sealing between the top plate 7 and the anchor body 1.
[0030] The top of the top plate 7 is provided with a groove 8, and the bottom of the anchor body 1 is provided with a pointed head 3.
[0031] The bottom of the pointed end 3 is provided with anti-slip texture 4, which is distributed in a ring and is arranged at equal intervals at the bottom of the pointed end 3.
