Editor Steven M. Kurtz has announced the launch of MedicalPEEK.org, an educational site about medical PEEK polymer Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymers are used in medical devices requiring implantation or blood, bone and tissue contact greater than 30 days. Used in spinal fusion for more than a decade, interest in this advanced and versatile polymer continues to grow. Kurtz serves as the founding editor for the site, which is designed as a lexicon reference for medical PEEK and targeted toward materials- and bioengineers, medical device designers, surgeons, academics, scientists and other medical, and medical device industry professionals. With interest in implantable PEEK continuing to grow across diverse medical applications, Kurtz said in a press relase that he expects site visits to mirror that trend.
