BlackArmor\u00ae<\/sup> Carbon\/PEEK \u2013
the Better Decision<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

icotec has developed a material that takes spinal tumor therapy to the next level. Radiolucent and artifact-free BlackArmor\u00ae<\/sup> Carbon\/PEEK<\/a> expands surgical options and makes decision-making in perioperative management easier.1<\/a><\/sup>Fleege et al.

More Confident Decision-Making<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Spinal tumor therapy is about making the right decision \u2013 at the right time. Implants made of BlackArmor\u00ae<\/sup> Carbon\/PEEK increase the reliability of diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Should new or persistent symptoms occur postoperatively, BlackArmor\u00ae<\/sup> Carbon\/PEEK enables clear MRI imaging.2<\/a><\/sup>Kr\u00e4tzig et al.
