Leading surgical instrument maker, Linvatec reverse engineered a package design that reduced material costs by about 16 percent, and increased manufacturing capacity by approximately 15 percent.

When Star Dental of Pennsylvania, USA, was designing its low-speed Titan air motors to power a line of dental attachments, it needed a material for the sliding vanes and bushings that would not require lubrication. Star Dental chose a carbon fibre compounded grade of Victrex® PEEK™ polymer, a high-performance thermoplastic, because of its inherent lubricity and its ability to withstand repeated sterilisation.
Invibio™ PEEK-OPTIMA® LT polymer has replaced POM-C in the manufacture of Synthes® spiked washers. These FDA cleared ligament fixation device has been developed by Mathys Medical Ltd for use in traumatology for ligament reattachment or fixation specifically for readaptation of torn or avulsed ligaments.
