3D Printed PEEK Spine Implants in Production | The Cool Parts Show Bonus

In episode #63 of The Cool Parts Show, we learned how medical device manufacturer Curiteva is applying a proprietary 3D printing process to produce spine implants from PEEK. Polyether ether ketone offers mechanical properties similar to bone making it attractive for this application, and machined and molded PEEK implants have been in use for years. But Curiteva’s process, Fused Strand Deposition (FSD), brings new geometric possibilities, including porosity that enables better osseointegration. Since our previous episode on the company’s cervical spine implants, Curiteva has achieved FDA clearance for a second product line of lower lumbar implants. In this bonus video, we visit its Huntsville, Alabama, facility to learn how the manufacturer is now scaling up production of these implants through FSD.
