Greene Tweed Orthetek® RP Polyketone, Random Carbon Fiber
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Polyketone; Polyetheretherketone (PEEK); Polyetheretherketone, PEEK, Carbon Fiber Filled

Material Notes: Greene Tweed offers precision-molded thermoplastic components made form out high-performance Orthtek® composite materials for a variety of demanding medical device applications. Orthtek RP is ideally suited to replace metal due to strength, dimensional stability, low weight and corrosion resistance. Orthtek RP is recommended for noncomplex parts such as nail guides where radiolucentcy and autoclaving are required.

Applications:

  • Medical Trauma – Targeting instruments such as tibial or humeral nail guides
  • Medical Orthopedic – Surgical instruments and retractors

Information provided by Greene Tweed.

Vendors: Ensinger TECAPEEK™ shapes are manufactured exclusively with Victrex™ PEEK polymer. The Ensinger process and Victrex resins ensure reliability, consistency, dimensional stability, and high temperature mechanical performance.
