ELEMENTS Interview | Quantum leap for spinal implants from the 3D printer
Thursday, 4 July, 2024
Perseverance and the belief in a revolution in orthopaedics: both are driving the inventor and start-up entrepreneur Todd Reith from the USA. Together with Evonik, he has developed a process with which spinal implants can be 3D printed from polyether ether ketone (PEEK). The practical test has been completed: Surgeons in the USA have used spinal implants from Curiteva that were made from the VESTAKEEP PEEK filament. In this interview, Todd Reith and Dr. Erik Erbe, Chief Scientific Officer of Curiteva, talk about the road to this success.
