Excellent biocompatibility

Outstanding biostability

Good resistance to commonly used sterilization methods like autoclaving and others

Resistance to high-energy radiation such as gamma rays or X-rays

X-ray transparency, no metal-typical shadows or artefacts in radiographs.

Good combination of mechanical strength, wear resistance and impact resistance makes PEEK a good choice for high strength medical devices

Good dimensional stability allows for manufacturing of high-precision parts

Good electrical properties, especially electrical insulation, is important for medical equipment - for example HF endoscopes
