Surgical Head Restraint System RTP Company End-Use Case Study PEEKTM Compound Replaces Titanium The human brain has been surgically examined since Neolithic times. Thankfully, modern day doctors have vastly improved techniques and are often aided by high-tech road maps of the brain using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tolmography (CT). However, the use of MRI and CT leads to compatibility issues associated with the materials used during surgery. For example, MR brain scans can be distorted because surgical head restraint assemblies are manufactured from magnetic materials. CT images become unrecognizable where magnetic components are employed. Titanium, although non-magnetic, can produce undesirable heat and be cost prohibitive to manufacture.
