CMF SURGERY: Patient-specific implants, instruments and laser surgery
Always a perfect fit.
Patient-specific implants.
Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), titanium mesh and
solid titanium – these are the materials used for the
patient­specific implants offered by KLS Martin.
PEEK is an innovative, biocompatible high­performance
plastic – elastic, low­weight, yet very strong and
thermostable. Thanks to its physical properties, PEEK
is very similar to cortical bone.
Titanium, in contrast, offers second­to­none biocompatibility.
Titanium implants are also designed
and manufactured to fit each patient’s needs. They
come either in mesh form or as solid, high­strength
versions used in reconstruction.
KLS Martin belongs to the select global circle
of just a few suppliers that are capable of making
such patient­specific implants and delivering
them on short notice. The associated procedure is
extremely user­friendly: surgeons simply upload
their patient­specific data via the online portal of
the KLS Martin website and KLS Martin takes care
of the rest: processing the data, manufacturing the
implants and dispatching them in the shortest
possible time.
But our services include more than patient­specific
implants. The following web page also allows you to
request anatomical models to optimize preoperative
