The image features a spool of 3D printing filament, showcasing a smooth, beige-colored filament neatly wound around a transparent blue spool. The spool has a circular shape with a central hub that allows it to rotate freely. The blue plastic is semi-transparent, revealing the filament inside, while the cutouts in the spool design provide a modern aesthetic and allow visibility of the filament's quantity. The background is minimalistic, emphasizing the spool's professional appearance, making it suitable for both hobbyists and professionals in the 3D printing field. The overall look conveys a sense of quality and precision, essential for creating detailed 3D models.

Product Overview

Menu
Products

With VESTAKEEP® Care M40 3DF, Evonik offers a polyether ether ketone filament for medical applications with body contact up to 30 days.

The high-performance polymer can be processed in common extrusion-based 3D printing technologies such as fused filament fabrication (FFF) or fused deposition modeling (FDM). With the product launch, Evonik is expanding the possibilities for individual treatment of patients using additive manufacturing.

SHORTCUTS

The new PEEK filament is the latest addition to Evonik’s "Care Grade" line based on the VESTAKEEP® Care M40 high-performance polymer impressing by its

  • biocompatibility
  • excellent temperature resistance
  • excellent chemical resistance
  • very good sterilizability, and
  • easy handling.

The filament is manufactured under cleanroom conditions and then subjected to strict quality management for medical materials. The range of possible applications extends from patient-specific hearing aids to filigree prostheses and orthoses to surgical drilling aids for dentistry or individual surgical instruments.

Further information on VESTAKEEP® PEEK

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 biocompatibility of a medical device depends on the kind of body contact ( contact to skin only, blood, fatty tissue, bone etc.) and on the duration of such contact. Therefore the biological evaluation of a medical device must be based on the intended application.

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.
