Implant Materials

We produce implants consisting of the following materials:

• BIOVERIT^®II
  
  We use the glass ceramics BIOVERIT^®II, which has been developed under the supervision of Prof. Vogel by the department of glass chemistry of the Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena. This material consists of machinable glass ceramics of the SiO2-Al2O3-MgO-Na2O-K2O-F-system. BIOVERIT^®II is an non-resorbable glass ceramic, which consists of a crystal phase (approx. 60%) with mainly Phlogopite–crystals, embedded in an alumosilicate glass matrix (approx. 40%).

• PEEK
  
  PEEK was deverlop as non-resorbable high performance thermoplastic for the long-term implantation. Since 2008, 3di GmbH is producing patient specific implants for the cerebral and visceral cranium made of this material. PEEK is intraoperative machinable.

• Titan
  
  Titanium is a dark grey material, which is highly stable. Due to this stability, it is possible to make the implants very thin. A subsequent machining with OP-tools is very difficult or not possible due to the high strength. Titanium is an implant material which is long-term proven for many body regions.
