Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is a colourless organic thermoplastic polymer in the polyaryletherketone (PAEK) family, used in engineering applications. It was invented in November 1978 [2] and brought to market in the early 1980s by part of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI), the PEEK division was acquired through a management buyout, giving rise to Victrex PLC.
PAEK plastics are characterized by phenylene rings that are linked via oxygen bridges (ether and carbonyl groups ()).The ratio and sequence of ether to ketones mainly affects the glass transition temperature and melting point of the polymer.

Unthreaded implants, such as the Harms and Pyramesh cages have teeth along both surfaces that bite into the end plates. [1] Technology: expansion vs. static devices Expandable implant devices are at the forefront of technology in this field, with cages that expand in place for optimal end-plate-to-endplate fit and correction of lordosis. There ...
Implant resistance welding is a method used in welding to join thermoplastics and thermoplastic composites. Resistive heating of a conductive material implanted in the thermoplastic melts the thermoplastic while a pressure is applied in order to fuse two parts together.
An implant is a medical device manufactured to replace a missing biological structure, support a damaged biological structure, or enhance an existing biological structure. For example, an implant may be a rod, used to strengthen weak bones. Medical implants are human-made devices, in contrast to a transplant, which is a transplanted biomedical ...

The second version, the Argus II, was designed to be smaller and easier to implant, and was co-invented by Mark Humayun of the USC Eye Institute, who had been involved in the clinical testing of the Argus I. [12] [11] The Argus II was first tested in Mexico in 2006, and then a 30-person clinical trial was conducted in 10 medical centers across ...
