摘要: Devices such as orthopedic implants are composed of a thermoplastic resin polyaryletheretherketone (PEEK), and include ceramic species, zeolite, to enhance its hydrophilic properties. The species can be surface coating, incorporated or embedded into the resin, both coating resin. In certain embodiments, is zeolite that device, especially at exposed devoid antimicrobial metal ions. device introduced body surgically.
