PEEK-Z is a type of cervical interbody fusion device designed for spinal surgeries. It is made of a high-performance polymer called polyetheretherketone (PEEK) with specific characteristics that make it suitable for spinal implantation.
One of the most distinctive features of PEEK-Z is its sharp surface bumps that provide initial stability and reduce the risk of implant movement and withdrawal. Its anatomical design is also optimized to maximize fusion contact surface and bone graft volume.
PEEK-Z has excellent biocompatibility, and unlike other implants made with carbon fiber, it does not cause systemic or local inflammatory reactions. Its zero-profile design minimizes cervical irritation, prevents ossification of neighboring segments, and simplifies surgical design.
PEEK-Z comes in various specifications to meet different clinical needs. Its specialized locking plate provides a rigid locking interface and disperses caging and plating stress. The implant is also equipped with a radiopaque marker for posterior X-ray imaging purposes.
With a serrated surfacing feature that enables it to obtain instantaneous stability and a self-tapping screw that facilitates one-step locking. It also has a fixed angle locking mechanism of 40±5 degrees to prevent displacement.
Overall, PEEK-Z is an excellent cervical interbody fusion device with unique features that make it suitable for spinal surgeries. Its biocompatibility, zero-profile design, and numerous specifications enable it to meet different clinical needs, while its locking plate and serrated surfacing provide maximum stability during the healing process.
