Custom implants built from advanced PEKK polymer deliver the strength of metal without its compromises, setting a new benchmark in reconstruction.
Beyond Metal
Traditional titanium and steel implants restore structure but carry inherent limitations: they obscure imaging, create thermal discomfort, increase the risk of infection and can weaken surrounding bone through stress shielding. OsteoFab® PEKK eliminates these issues. Designed from each patient’s scans and 3D-printed in high-performance PEKK, it provides the strength of metal in a lightweight, radiolucent implant that integrates seamlessly and allows post-operative imaging to remain crystal clear.
A revolution in bone replacement technology
Clinical Advantages
Surgeons gain a level of control and precision impossible with metal. Intra-operative imaging stays unobstructed. The implant’s tailored geometry reduces time in theatre and removes the need for on-the-spot adjustments. Patients benefit from a lighter, more comfortable reconstruction, faster recovery and the reassurance of accurate follow-up imaging.
“OsteoFab® PEKK has changed how we approach complex reconstruction. The patient-specific fit, radiolucency and tissue comfort deliver a level of predictability I simply do not get with metal. In theatre it saves time. In follow-up it gives clarity. For selected cases, it is my first choice.”

Seamless workflow
The process begins with high-resolution CT or MRI scans. Surgeons collaborate directly on the digital design, specifying fixation points and surface textures. Each implant is then 3D-printed to exact tolerances, sterilised and delivered ready for surgery. Post-operative imaging remains crystal clear, and every case contributes to a dedicated outcomes registry that turns experience into evidence.
