VESTAKEEP® PEEK are aromatic polyetheretherketone molding compounds for manufacturing long-lasting components that you can use under the toughest conditions. Our base VESTAKEEP® PEEK grades come in a wide range of viscosities, and we have standard molding compounds modified by various additives.
K7 LLC’s K7C™ Cervical Spacer, a spinal implant device using Evonik’s VESTAKEEP® PEEK (polyetheretherketone), has received the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 510(k) approval for use as an Intervertebral Body Fusion (IBF) device.
“Creating innovative solutions for our customers is a core component of Evonik”
This marks the first time a VESTAKEEP® PEEK-based spinal fusion medical device has gained 510(k) approval from the FDA. The K7C™ Cervical Spacer is one of several PEEK-based spinal implant devices being developed by K7 LLC.
Michael Smith, founder and CEO of K7 LLC attributed VESTAKEEP® PEEK’s durability as a key component in gaining FDA 510(k) clearance. “We could not be more pleased with the test results and material durability of VESTAKEEP® PEEK,” said Smith. “The inherent strength and added ductility have created new possibilities for our PEEK implant designs.”
Evonik’s customers can reference the VESTAKEEP® PEEK product line Masterfiles (MAF), documents containing comprehensive test data on the product’s mechanical and biocompatible properties that meet FDA regulatory requirements, to help guide future registration processes for implant medical devices.
“Creating innovative solutions for our customers is a core component of Evonik,” said Sanjeev Taneja, vice president of Evonik’s High Temperature Polymers Business. “The FDA approval is a testament to the product quality of VESTAKEEP® PEEK and the strength of its MAF. It is also an example of the long-term commitment Evonik has in the medical device and orthopedic industries. This approval validates Evonik as a true player in the implant PEEK market.”
VESTAKEEP® PEEK is known for its superior biocompatibility and biostability. Its excellent sterilization resistance and good combination of stiffness and ductility make it suitable for medical implant applications that must meet extremely high mechanical, thermal, and chemical requirements.
