VICTREX PEEK is the polymer of choice for a wide range of medical applications.

VICTREX PEEK has successfully replaced glass, stainless steel, and other metals in a growing range of medical applications. The material’s exceptional combination of properties allow designers and engineers to create cost-effective, innovative parts that require outstanding wear, heat, electrical and chemical resistance. Victrex’s biomaterials business, Invibio®, provides access to specialised materials and services for medical device manufacturers.

The VICTREX PEEK Advantage:

• Chemical resistance
• High strength for application/part longevity
• Inherent purity and extremely inert for sterile environments
• Outstanding autoclavability
• Impact and wear resistance
• Processing and design flexibility

Available unfilled or filled, VICTREX PEEK provides engineered solutions for the medical industry. For surgical and dental instruments that require extensive repeat use, this inherently pure polymer can withstand many repeated autoclave sterilisation cycles in which temperatures typically reach high levels. This semi-crystalline material maintains high mechanical strength, excellent stress cracking resistance and hydrolytic stability in the presence of hot water, steam, solvents and chemicals.
