The First Plate Implants Were Made From Steel; Then Came Stainless Steel; Next Came Titanium Alloy.
Carbon Fiber Reinforced PEEK is the New Revolution.
OPTIMIZED MATERIAL PROPERTIES
The CoLink® PCR1 Plates are engineered from carbon fiber reinforced PEEK, layered in alternating directions for enhanced properties resulting in high fatigue strength.
The orientation of the fibers is customized to enhance the performance of the CoLink® PCR plating system
The CoLink® PCR Plating System Utilizes a Unique Carbon Fiber Reinforced PEEK Polymer – a Next Generation Metal-Free Technology with Long Carbon Fibers for Strength.
An implant material that is engineered to last
The CoLink PCR plate has an increased fatigue strength which means that the implant can withstand a higher repetitive load, more than 2.5x higher than its Titanium Alloy counterpart, at the same number of loading cycles (steps).2

Radiolucent artifact-free imaging, with plates invisible on X-ray. Barium sulfate is added for slight visibility.
DESIGNED FOR BETTER, SAFER, OPTIMIZED PROCEDURES
Earlier callus formation and return to function
A less stiff material produces greater callus formation3
Enhanced visualization of the healing site
Radiolucency and artifact-free imaging provides more accurate assessment during healing4
Easier revisions,
when necessary
Reduced tissue adhesion and bone ongrowth with no cold welding of screws enables easier hardware removal3
