Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchors


The Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor is an advanced medical device primarily composed of high-strength polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and titanium alloy (Ti). Its notable features include a unique Knotless design, eliminating the traditional step of tying knots during surgery and simplifying the procedure. The self-punching design of this anchor eliminates the need to prepare a bone socket, helping maintain proper axial alignment when inserting the anchor into the socket, ensuring high precision during surgery. The role of Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor is to provide reliable suture support while reducing surgical trauma. Its design not only enhances the efficiency of the surgery but also alleviates postoperative discomfort for patients. Behind the manufacturing of this medical device is the top-notch technological expertise of Manners Technology and our commitment to medical quality.

Applications


Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor, manufactured by Manners Technology, is an outstanding orthopedic implant widely utilized in various fields, providing surgeons with efficient and reliable surgical solutions. Its primary applications include repairs for torn rotator cuffs, ligament reconstruction, joint stability restoration, and the treatment of complex fractures. It is suitable for multiple joints, including the shoulder, knee, hip, and others.

Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchors are specifically designed for rotator cuff repairs, offering a variety of specifications and material options. The anchor body is constructed with PEEK, and the tip is available in either PEEK or titanium. The compact titanium tip minimizes the need for socket preparation in the lateral row, especially in situations where soft tissue may obstruct the view. This eliminates the risk of losing the bone socket after pre-punching, a requirement for standard PushLock anchors, ensuring the surgery’s high precision.


The product specifications include different sizes and material choices, such as 4.75mm and 5.5mm, with options for PEEK and titanium tips, catering to diverse surgical needs. With its versatile applications in rotator cuff repairs and a range of specifications, the Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor series offers surgeons flexibility and operational convenience.

 


Manufacturing


In the manufacturing of medical devices, material selection is crucial. High-quality biocompatible materials such as stainless steel, titanium alloy, polymers like polyether ether ketone (PEEK), are commonly used to ensure the safety and reliability of the product. Subsequently, digital technology comes into play, where computer-aided design (CAD) precisely defines the shape and structure of the anchor. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programming translates the digital design into actual machining instructions, preparing for CNC machining. Next, Manners Technology employs advanced equipment and mechanical techniques to intricately cut and sculpt the anchor, ensuring it meets design specifications. Following this, the heat treatment phase is introduced to enhance the overall hardness and wear resistance of the anchor. Finally, surface treatments such as polishing or coating improve the surface smoothness and biocompatibility of the anchor.

It’s worth mentioning that heat treatment is a critical stage in the manufacturing of Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor. It aims to alter the crystal structure of the material by controlling the heating and cooling processes, enhancing the overall performance of the anchor. For orthopedic products, the heat treatment process is crucial as it directly impacts the anchor’s lifespan and stability in surgical procedures. In the heat treatment, Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor is exposed to high temperatures, typically ranging from 600°C to 1000°C. During this stage, the structure of the anchor undergoes significant changes as the crystals rearrange. Subsequently, after heating to the appropriate temperature, the anchor undergoes controlled cooling to ensure the stability of the crystal structure.


Adjusting the cooling rate is another important technical consideration, as it directly relates to achieving the final hardness. Rapid cooling may lead to brittleness, while slow cooling may affect hardness improvement. Hardness is a key indicator measuring a material’s resistance to scratches and deformation, crucial for orthopedic products as they need to provide robust support in complex bone structures. For products like Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor, heat treatment not only strengthens its overall structure but also increases its hardness and wear resistance, enhancing reliability in surgeries. The heat-treated anchor can better adapt to the physiological environment of bones, ensuring outstanding performance over an extended period.


This series of steps aims to ensure the quality and performance of Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor meet the highest standards in the medical industry. These precise and complex manufacturing steps guarantee the reliability of Peek-Force Knotless Peek-Ti Anchor in orthopedic surgeries, ensuring patients receive optimal treatment outcomes. Manners Technology’s rich experience and advanced techniques in these processes reflect our professionalism in the field of orthopedic product manufacturing.
