Is peek skull repair expensive?

There are many disasters and accidents in a person’s life, but you are not “Erlang Shen” and cannot predict when your disaster or accident will come. For example, if you are walking and suddenly get hit by a big truck, or fall from height, or fight and so on, these uncertain factors can cause serious cranial trauma, resulting in cranial defects, and you have to undergo cranial bone repair surgery. Currently, titanium mesh is used for skull repair surgery, but this material is not ideal, and there are some problems and complications. However, with the advancement of medicine, a few hospitals have introduced a more advanced PEEK material to repair the skull with better results. Let’s start with a few excellent features of PEEK materials to give you a general idea. PEEK polyetheretherketone is a special engineering plastic with excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, self-lubrication, easy processing and high mechanical strength. 1, corrosion resistance, anti-aging 2, resistance to solubility; 3, high temperature, high-frequency and high-voltage electrical performance conditions 4, toughness and rigidity; 5, size requirements for precision conditions 6, irradiation-resistant wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant conditions 7, hydrolysis-resistant, high temperature and pressure can still maintain excellent characteristics; 8, light weight instead of metal for fiber-optic components 9, wear-resistant, anti-static electrical insulation performance; 10, mechanical strength requirements of high parts 11, low soot and toxic gas emissions. PEEK cranial advantages: 1, the biggest advantage is that he is imitating the skull, in fact, in terms of mechanical properties alone, it is even stronger than the skull resistance 2, embedded repair, tight seams 3, will not be affected by sudden cold and heat 4, has a strong inert, very small scalp irritation 5, PEEK cranial and supporting cranial lock material in the design of the time, will be reserved for the placement of the connecting piece of the groove. Surgical operation is very convenient 6, rays can be transmitted, no metal artifacts. However, this emerging advanced material is far from widespread, and many local hospitals do not have this material, so patients need to go to hospitals in large cities such as Beijing to receive treatment. With that said, patients are also interested in knowing which hospital in Beijing has better and less expensive PEEK materials? The Civil Aviation General Hospital, of course. A team of neurosurgery specialists is applying this polyetheretherketone PEEK material for skull repair surgery, with excellent clinical results and a surgical efficiency rate of more than 98%.
