Medical implantable PEEK research

Biotribology of HXLPE on PEAK Bearings Little is known about the biotribology of all-polymer PEEK bearings!! Researchers from Philadelphia simultaneously tested a total of 100 pin-on-disk couples (n = 10 per bearing couple) consisting of three traditional metal-on-UHMWPE and seven polymer-on-polymer bearings for 2 million cycles under physiologically relevant conditions per ASTM F732. The combined […]
