Ketron™ LSG PEEK-CLASSIX™ are Life Science Grade stock shapes made from Invibio™ PEEK-CLASSIX™ resin. Both resin and stock shape are pre-assessed for biocompatibility for up to 30 days contact with body and tissue according to USP VI and ISO 10993. With a unique combination of mechanical properties, chemical resistance and sterilization resistance , Ketron™ LSG PEEK-CLASSIX™ components can be used in a variety of applications in the medical and dental industries involving body contact for a duration up to 30 days. Used primarily as temporary dental abutments, these shapes are also great candidates for applications such as air and drug delivery systems and blood management components.
PROPERTIES
Pre-assessed on both resin and stock shapes for up to 30 days contact with body or tissue according to USP Class VI and ISO 10993
PEEK-CLASSIX™ base material provides enhanced mechanical properties and chemical resistance, allowing longer term body or tissue contact than other LSG grades
Excellent sterilization resistance via steam, dry heat, EtO, plasma and gamma and X-ray irradiation
