PEEK ENHANCES MRI OPTIONS at PLASTICS ONE

Driven by researchers needs and requests, we have added PEEK Cannulas to our MRI product line.
There are many advantages to using PEEK tubing.
  • It has excellent abrasion and wear resistance.
  • PEEK material is lightweight, biocompatible, and has exceptional chemical resistance.
  • MRI Cannulas made with PEEK are steam autoclavable at temperatures in excess of 250°C (482°F).
  • Some assembly advantages are that it can easily be cut with a razor blade and can be bonded with epoxies and cyanoacrylates.
Radiotranslucent PEEK components allow a researcher to MRI images producing no artifact in the image. It adds a second dimension in that it enables the simultaneous collection of MRI images during infusion along with the collection of electrophysiological data using other Plastics One MRI compatible electrode systems.
