Components in catheters used for coronary valve, stent, or graft delivery
Bone cement delivery during orthopedic procedures
Ablation, endoscopy, spinal, and vascular applications
Potential as replacement for steel components used during many minimally invasive procedures
Benefits:
High tensile and column strength – one of the highest strength to weight ratio of any thermoplastic
High dimensional stability
Low flexural modulus – PEEK withstands loads without deflection, which results in high pushability, excellent torque transmission, and the ability to handle buckling loads
Very low elongation/elasticity – PEEK withstands force without elongating in the direction of the force
High inherent lubricity results in minimal abrasion
High chemical inertness
High burst pressure
High temperature performance/endurance
Low conductivity
