Service and Support

VESTAKEEP® PEEK


Our comprehensive application engineering advice also includes support from various CAE methods in the development of molds and molded parts.

In processing simulation, the injectionmolding process is calculated using stateof-the-art software from the filling phase through the holding pressure phase to the calculation of shrinkage and warpage. At the product development stage, information can be obtained on the

  • Manufacturing process: for example, the ability to fill the tool, resulting process parameters, such as pressure and temperature distribution, cooling structures, influence of various processing parameters.
  • Component properties: optimized position of weld lines and design suggestions to minimize shrinkage and warpage
  • Manufacturing costs: size of machinery needed, cycle time, molded part/tool complexity

As a partner to our customers, we’re far more than just a manufacturer of high-quality polymers and semi-finished products. On the contrary, our goal is also to work hand-in-hand with our customers to develop next generation medical implant applications.

In other words, we

  • develop a number of medical innovations jointly with our partners,
  • advise on mold design for injection molding applications,
  • provide intensive technical support about VESTAKEEP's material characterstics and performance
  • help with the approval of new products
  • provide machining guidelines for applications made of stock shapes

Delivery of VESTAKEEP® PEEK

We deliver our VESTAKEEP® polymers to you in precisely the form you need. VESTAKEEP® PEEK can be processed using all conventional techniques such as injection molding, extrusion, and compression molding. Combined, this means maximum design freedom for the client and the best product for the patient.

Medical devices

The image features a detailed anatomical illustration of the human torso, focusing on the skeletal structure of the upper back and shoulders. It showcases the spine, rib cage, and shoulder blades, rendered in a semi-transparent style that allows for a clear view of the bones. The background is soft and neutral, enhancing the visibility of the skeletal features. This illustration could be used in discussions about biocompatibility in medical contexts, particularly concerning implants or prosthetics that interact with the skeletal system.

Biocompatability

The image depicts a laboratory setting where a person is conducting an experiment involving the measurement of liquid samples. In the foreground, a hand is holding a graduated cylinder filled with a yellow liquid, which is being compared to a row of clear test tubes placed in a rack. Each test tube has a blue lid and is labeled with handwritten identifiers, suggesting they contain different samples or concentrations. A pipette is positioned above one of the test tubes, indicating that a precise amount of liquid is being dispensed. The background features additional laboratory equipment, contributing to the scientific atmosphere of the scene.
