Research & Development

HySpine

Development of a metal-free spinal implant

Pedicle screw systems are used to stabilize and correct the curvature of the spine. Titanium is now the standard material for these medical implants. However, there are some disadvantages associated with metallic implants. Examples include the formation of artifacts in medical imaging procedures (CT, MRI, X-rays) or the problem of reflection.
in radiotherapy. In addition, the bone can regress due to the high implant stiffness (stress shielding). By using carbon fiber reinforced polyetheretherketone (CF-PEEK) as an implant material, these and other disadvantages can be avoided. Patient comfort is increased and post-operative care is improved. Extensive analytical and mechanical tests were carried out to characterize the material behavior, including for the manufacturing process. In addition to numerical simulations (finite element calculations), a large number of experimental tests were carried out on the pedicle screw and the pedicle screw system.
