Study results demonstrated advantages of NuVasive’s Porous PEEKâ„¢ interbody fusion devices vs. titanium-coated PEEK implants in impaction durability.
Researchers subjected titanium-coated PEEK, smooth PEEK and NuVasive Porous PEEK interbody implants to impaction loading conditions. Subsequent analysis showed that the Porous PEEK surface structure maintained high porosity (greater than 65%), with minimal changes to pore size and depth. Titanium-coated devices demonstrated coating loss after impaction, and smooth PEEK showed minimal damage, but a decrease in surface roughness.
The durability of Porous PEEK indicates that the opportunity for bony ingrowth may be optimized.
NuVasive’s COHERE® and COALESCEâ„¢ Interbody Fusion devices are the only Porous PEEK interbody implants available in the market.
