MOTIS™ LV

About
Combining versatility, strength, biocompatibility and superior material properties, MOTIS is a tool for innovation that drives device performance to the next level. At its core, MOTIS is an enhanced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) polymer with properties specifically developed for bearing applications against hard counterfaces, such as metal and ceramic. For device manufacturers, this means increased design flexibility and redefining what is possible. Superior biomaterials, in form and function, are more important than ever before. Until now, arthroplasty device design and performance have been bound by the limitations of existing metals, ceramics, and polymers, due to inherent characteristics (e.g. strength, stiffness), processing requirements, or performance limitations (e.g. wear, creep and fatigue properties). MOTIS overcomes many of these constraints – in both design and processing – by fundamentally redefining biomaterial properties and performance possibilities. To meet the critical demands of orthopedic joint arthroplasty, MOTIS utilizes carbon fiber technology to modify the performance characteristics of natural PEEK. MOTIS provides an inherently strong bond between fibers and matrix, with a fiber-to-matrix interfacial bond strength at least an order of magnitude stronger than UHMWPE and carbon fibers. Additionally, MOTIS has shown to be highly resistant to creep with less than 0.4% of creep measured under loads of 50MPa, maintaining implant shape and contact area under constant stress.&&
