PEEK-OPTIMA Natural
PEEK-OPTIMA Natural is the pure, unfilled PEEK grade.
This high-performance, implant-grade polymer is used alone and also serves as the foundation of the PEEK-OPTIMA product family. It is the base material used in all PEEK-OPTIMA grades. PEEK-OPTIMA Natural delivers performance characteristics virtually unmatched by other implantable biomaterials.
