CranioFix® PEEK follows the example of the popular and proven functionality of CranioFix Absorbable, including the advantages of instrument-free application. Again, the two (NON-ABSORBABLE!) PEEK disks are connected by a sophisticated suture configuration with a Roeder knot. A chain-block mechanism is used to achieve perfect bone flap fixation with a defined clamping force.
CranioFix® PEEK should be interesting for neurosurgeons disinclined to use titanium as implant material, neurosurgeons insisting on instrument-free application, neurosurgeons demanding artifact-free implants or pediatric neurosurgeons not wishing to use absorbable or titanium implants.
