OXPEKK® is an ultra pure high performance polymer that the firm has been selling on a global basis to medical companies for implantable applications. "It has been clear to us for some time that many of our customers prefer to purchase finished molded implants from us" said Scott DeFelice OPM President. With OPM supplying the finished molded parts, our customers can establish a dedicated medical implant manufacturing supply chain, a simplified regulatory pathway and a highly economical just in time logistics proposition.
