PEEK is currently the material of choice for the reconstruction of large cranial defects with a patient-specific inlay implant.

Besides the perfect fit, unique fixation and suture method (see below) and perfect cosmetic reconstruction, the advantages of PEEK are:

• Mechanical properties comparable to bone
• Excellent biocompatibility
• Can be modified interoperatively
• Compatible with CT, MRI and radiation therapy
• Inlay implant to mimic bone thickness and restore intercranial pressure
• Autoclave (steam) sterilisation and re-sterilisation
