Medical
Application-oriented PEEK material development for medical instruments and healthcare components requiring strength and sterilization resistance.
Medical devices may require mechanical strength, hydrolytic stability, sterilization resistance, low particle generation and precise processing.
CNPEEK® supports application-specific material development and technical collaboration. Final use in medical devices must be confirmed through the customer’s regulatory, biocompatibility and application validation process.
