Munich Medical Devices
Munich Medical Devices makes PEEK implants bioactive by printing them with a fully interconnected lattice structure that promotes direct bone growth while preserving the material's radiolucency and metal-free composition. The company combines an AI-driven software workflow with a complete in-house manufacturing chain, enabling patient-specific implants to be produced with series-level efficiency and scan-to-implant turnaround in hours.

Problem
Traditional PEEK implants are bio-inert materials that often exhibit poor osseointegration, leading to fibrous tissue formation at the bone-implant interface and potential long-term implant loosening. This can compromise the stability and longevity of spinal and orthopedic constructs, necessitating revision surgeries and increasing patient morbidity.
Solution
Munich Medical Devices provides porous PEEK implants that feature an interconnected, three-dimensional porous surface architecture designed to promote direct bone on- and in-growth. The technology transforms the bio-inert surface of standard PEEK into a bioactive scaffold, allowing bone tissue to integrate physically with the implant for enhanced mechanical fixation. By maintaining the favorable elastic modulus and radiolucency of PEEK while adding the osteoconductive benefits of porosity, these implants aim to achieve stronger biological anchorage and improved load transfer. The company operates an integrated manufacturing workflow with an AI layer spanning design, planning, and operations, enabling patient-specific implants to be produced with series-level efficiency. All design, printing, post-processing, cleaning, and release steps run in-house under one quality system.
Target Audience
Primary customers are spine and orthopedic surgeons, as well as medical device manufacturers seeking advanced interbody fusion devices and fixation implants for procedures requiring enhanced osseointegration with patient-specific or series production capabilities.
Features
- Fully interconnected three-dimensional lattice structure enabling continuous bone ingrowth, with porous zones where biology needs it and solid zones where load demands it
- Micro- and macro-porosity optimized to balance mechanical strength with biological infiltration
- AI-driven software workflow across design, planning, and operations that makes single-unit batches as efficient as production runs
- Complete in-house manufacturing chain including design, printing, post-processing, cleaning, and release under one quality system, with scan-to-implant turnaround in hours
- Preserves PEEK's inherent radiolucency and metal-free composition, allowing postoperative bone healing to be visualized on imaging
- Compatible with standard surgical instrumentation and insertion workflows across various implant geometries, including interbody fusion devices
