Morphix anchor by MedShape Solutions.
Morphix utilizes a proprietary PEEK Altera shape
memory polymer structure to facilitate deployment.
The mechanical activation of the anchor after insertion
requires less force than traditional polymer materials,
reducing concerns of implant breakage and increasing
the efficiency of the procedure. The image is reprinted
