Are you a medical device manufacturer?
Are you looking for a company that could inject your polymer implants?

FORÉCREU, specialist in the injection of medical implants in PLA's, biocomposites, PMMA, PEEK, ... can meet your needs.

We accompany you in:

• The selection of implantable polymers,
• The design of molds,
• The production of your implants.

THE PROCESSEDRAW MATERIALS

ABSORBABLE MATERIALS
PDLLA / PLGA

The term "bioresorbable polymers" includes several families of polymers, the most used in surgeries are polylactidesand polyglycolides. Under normal physiological conditions, they hydrolyze into non-toxic degradation products (lactic acid and/or glycolic acid), easily metabolized and eliminated by the body in the form of CO2 and H2O.

 

THEBIOCOMPOSITES
HA/β-TCP/Bioglass

Mixtures designed to providethe mechanical properties necessary for the maintenance of the ligament while ensuring controlled resorption and osseointegration.
The objectives of these mixtures: to be osteoconductive,resorbable and bioactive.
Example of mix: 70% PDLLA & 30% β-TCP.

NON-ABSORBABLE MATERIALS
NATURAL PEEK / PEEK LOADED CARBON FIBER (CFR)

PEEK is a semi-crystalline aromatic polymer, biocompatible and intended for permanent implantation.
It can be loaded with carbon fiber in order to improve its mechanical characteristics.

Its main advantages are:

• Excellent mechanical performance,
• Strong wear resistance,
• Possibility of repeated sterilization by all current techniques without affecting performance,
• Total or partial radio-transparency,
• Biocompatibility,
• Elastic module close to that of the bone.

PMMA

Polymethyl methacrylate mainly used for the manufacture of centerers or spacers for cemented hip prostheses.
