Let me introduce Vahe, he is 23 years old young solder
Vahe was in frontline during 44-days war fighting against animi aggression and protecting his country, his motherland.
After war already passed two long years; however up to now Vahen is not able to return to normal life, the life which was before the war. Vahe’s skull is heavily injured at battle and now his brain don’t have protection sufficient protection which is vital for its physical existence. In other words, Vahes life always under the risk, even when he sleeps or doing home activity.
Can you imagine?
Every single day you walked between life and death boundary. Every single action can be the last for your life…
Of course live with this kind of heavy injury on skull is real challenge; hence, Vahen is under the doctors everyday control. However, it is impossible live entire life in this way: therefore, Vahe seeks surgical treatment which is imperative.

Implant which may change the life of the young soldier
During this war Vahe got a mine wound with severe open-penetrating craniocerebral injury, fractures of the skull, frontal cranial bones, cerebral hemorrhage, hemorrhage, swelling of the brain, presence of foreign bodies in the brain. Vahe was taken to Erebuni Medical Center from battlefield and where he subjected a long and extensive treatment: Latter on he was underwent surgery to restore the anatomical structure of the head.
Unfortunately, the case is exceptional; it is not possible to use a standard implant. In this case, it is necessary to use a designed and customized implant, which will exactly match with damaged part and perfectly cover entire injured area.
Entire cost of this unique surgery is only 1,336,000 AMD, which includes modeling, production and import of the implant, and supplementary medical components such as titanium screws և supporting structures.

Selection of the implant type:
There are serval parameters to consider when making custom implants. For example, what part of the body is it designed for, what load should it carry, what function should it perform, etc.
A polymeric material, such as PEEK, is preferred to use for the skull injuries. The reason is the coefficient of the thermal conductivity (CTE) of the polymer. Thus, CTE of this polymer is significantly lower compare of that the metal implants. This factor is vital because if the implant has high thermal conductivity then it may transfer a large amount of heat from environment to brain or reverse direction (this depends on the ambient). This results in severe headaches. Have you ever had pain in any part of your body that is unbearable? Imagine for a second, that pain with you for entire life.
That's why you have to choose the best option to avoid such a problem.

PEEK is a high-quality engineering polymer in terms of strength, flexibility, biocompatibility, durability, etc., it is incomparably superior to other polymers. That is why nowadays this polymer is used in medicine and it gains more and more popularity.
If we succeed in establishing the production pathway of PEEK implants. this will promote to use this advanced implants for other patients and make their life much better.
Join us to make the it happens, to give people life without pain.
