Domestic medical PEEK materials and orthopedic implant profiles

Jiangsu Junhua, as one of the earliest domestic units engaged in the research, development, production and manufacturing of PEEK materials, pays great attention to the application of PEEK in the medical industry and has been committed to the research, development and production of medical implant-grade PEEK materials.

After 16 years of production and technology accumulation, the company started from the source of polymerization and established Shandong Junhao High Performance Polymer Co., Ltd. to develop polymer implant PEEK raw materials.

In accordance with the production standards of medical implant materials, a GMP refining production workshop was established, and refining and purification equipment for implant-grade AKSOPEEK® polymerization was developed, which effectively solved the problem of excessive heavy metal ion content in implant PEEK materials.

The company pilot-produced autoclave implant-grade PEEK materials in 2020. In the same year, third-party tests were conducted on various biological aspects of the materials in accordance with the ISO10993 test standard, and all test results met the requirements.

In 2021, Junhua sent the first batch of mass-produced implant-grade AKSOPEEK® materials for biological and physical and chemical properties in accordance with the YY/T0660-2008 medical industry standard, and all tests were completed around October 2022.

Jiangsu Junhua’s award-winning domestically produced medical implant-grade PEEK material AKSOPEEK® has good physical and chemical properties, and its radiolucency, biocompatibility and human bone matching are no less than similar foreign products, achieving import substitution of PEEK materials in the fields of orthopedic tumors, plastic surgery, spine, knee joints and craniomaxillofacial repair.
