of PEEK and related polyaromatic ketones in fusion
and motion preserving spine implants (Chapter 13),
PEEK isoelastic hip stems (Chapter 14), trauma
implants and suture anchors (Chapter 15), and
orthopedic bearings (Chapter 16). The final chapter
in this part of this
Handbook
summarizes the regu-
latory pathway for PEEK implants.
In short, this
Handbook
is designed as a
tour de
force
for the field of PEEK biomaterials, starting with
the basics of device fabrication, engineering of the
implant/host tissue interface, and culminating in
development of new implants. In the chapter that
follows, we explore the materials processing, as well
as the blending and conversion practices that underlie
the manufacture of PEEK components, and continue
to build upon the conceptual foundation established
in this introduction.
