The UK Olympic sprinter, James Ellington, is recovering from a serious injury due to a motor cycle accident in January, suffering a broken tibia and pelvis and fractures in both eye sockets. The sprinter is hopeful to make a return soon thanks to Invibio Biomaterial Solutions and CarboFix Orthopedics. It was announced in a press release on July 13, 2017, that the sprinter "has joined forces with the Invibio and CarboFix on his road to recovery and his overall ambition to return to the world stage of the athletic competition."
This is a perfect example of the power of a person's determination which is strengthened by the advanced medical technology. CarboFix and Invibio have worked together with innovative biomaterials and devices that have the potential to change the treatment of trauma fractures. With trauma implants made from Invibio's PEEK-OPTIMA™ Ultra-Reinforced, a composite polymer, CarboFix Orthopedics is hoping to support James and patients in a similar situation. According to Invibio, its PEEK-OPTIMA™ polymers are used in around nine million implanted devices worldwide.
