TECATEC PEEK MT CW50 PL V01 natural is a carbon fibre composite material characterised by extraordinary mechanical strength and high thermal dimensional stability.
The fields of application are very often within traumatology, with applications like internal fixation systems (target arms), external fixation systems as well as other structural elements.
The PEEK polymer used in TECATEC PEEK MT CW50 black is VICTREX PEEK, a densified polymer with carbon fibre fabric. A special coating on the fabric reduces the number of defects. The 50% carbon content provides extreme torsional rigidity and virtually eliminates warping, even with repeated sterilisation.
TECATEC PEEK MT CW50 black is manufactured to customer specifications, focusing almost exclusively on customer size requirements. Ensinger offers TECATEC PEEK MT CW50 black in sheet thicknesses in 1 mm increments to maximise material and cost savings.
The goal of orthopaedic trauma treatment is to restore a broken bone to its correct position and orientation. When this is done by means of surgical intervention, fixation systems are used to secure the bone in the anatomically correct position. Manufacturers of such internal fixation systems need to meet many and exacting requirements in terms of function, weight and appearance, at the same time as keeping an eye on the overall costs in view of increasingly tight budgets.
