A new MedTech Unboxed episode is live: 'Mastering PEEK: Crystallinity and Strength in Medical Molded Parts' with Brett Lenz from PDC. Join us as we unpack PEEK, exploring the art and science of mastering consistent crystallinity to boost the strength and performance of micro-molded parts for medical devices. ? PEEK is a leading engineering thermoplastic, valued for its mechanical properties. It is increasingly used in surgical robotics as a metal substitute due to its strength-to-weight ratio, toughness, and MRI compatibility. Additionally, its non-conductive and non-capacitive nature makes it ideal for energy-transmitting devices within the body. Watch the full episode on X and YouTube—link in comments.
