Using PEEK material to completely replace metal, a modular external fixation bracket is manufactured, with only 20 metal components, significantly reducing product weight. X-ray transparency and a simple molding process are two major advantages of high-polymer engineering plastics over alloy materials. Other superior properties include: excellent chemical stability suitable for various sterilization methods, high mechanical strength to meet usage requirements, moderate surface hardness providing a new tactile feel, and a uniquely gentle feel that is more patient-friendly than metal.
