Advantages:

1. Biocompatibility: PEEK has good biocompatibility and can maintain good adaptability when in contact with the human body in medical devices, reducing the risk of rejection and allergic reactions.

2. High strength and light weight: PEEK has the characteristics of high strength and light weight, and can be used to manufacture thin and strong medical equipment to improve the portability and use effect of the equipment.

3. Wear resistance and stability: PEEK has excellent wear resistance and chemical stability, which can maintain stable performance in high temperature and corrosive environment, and is not easy to deteriorate or wear.

4. Strong plasticity: PEEK can be customized according to the needs of medical equipment, with strong plasticity and good adaptability.

5. Non-toxic and tasteless: PEEK is non-toxic and tasteless, harmless to the human body, and meets the requirements of material safety in the medical field.

6. X-ray transmittance: PEEK has good X-ray transmittance and does not affect medical imaging analysis.

Cons:

1. Processing difficulty: the processing technology of PEEK is relatively complex, requiring professional equipment and skills, so the processing cost is relatively high.

2. Sensitive to temperature and humidity: PEEK is more sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, which may affect its performance and stability. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the control of temperature and humidity during storage and use.

3. High cost: Compared with other ordinary plastics, PEEK has a higher price, and the cost of manufacturing medical equipment has also increased accordingly.

4. Wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance need to be improved: compared with some other materials, such as titanium alloy, PEEK's wear resistance and chemical corrosion resistance may be slightly inferior, and it is necessary to pay attention to protection and maintenance during use.

5. Particles and rejection may occur after implantation into the human body: although PEEK has good biocompatibility, there is still the possibility of adverse reactions such as non-fusion with bone, aging, particles and rejection.

In summary, the application of PEEK in the field of medical devices has broad prospects,
