As a new type of medical titanium plates, screws, wires bars, medical titanium is also a carrier material, which is widely used in limb implants, alternative functional materials, dentistry, medical quipment and other related fields.

Medical titanium and titanium alloys have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high specific strength, low elastic modulus, fatigue resistance, and good biocompatibility. Among them, the characteristic of good biocompatibility makes it have unique advantages compared with other metals, so it is widely favored in the medical field. However, due to its low corrosion resistance and process performance, further improment work is also being done.

At present, there are more than 200 titanium companies in Baoji, But few can produce medical titanium. Geerwork is a medical titanium manufacturer, it has been committed to the research of titanium industry chain over 20 years to successfully produce ASTM F67, ASTM F136/ELI and other medical titanium.

Medical titanium has a good affinity with human connective tissue and skeletal epithelial tissue and its excellent medical properties are also reflected in its advantages in medical alloys. And the density is small, the weight is light, the corrosion resistance is good, and it is comfortable to wear. Therefore, titanium is widely favored as dental implants. In addition, after the surface treatment of titanium dentures, the aesthetic performance is increased, which can meet the Public’s demand for beauty and give people a visual enjoyment.

1. For medical device direction

Medical titanium alloy medical equipment is the third generation surgical equipment after carbon steel and stainless steel. In order to improve the anti-rust performance of stainless steel instruments, surface treatments such as chrome plating and electropolishing are required. But chromium is toxic, and the peeled chromium layer will have a certain impact on the human body. The benefits of medical titanium as medical devices are:

1) The instruments are light and handy, which can reduce the damage to blood vessels, muscles and organs during the operation, and reduce the fatigue of the doctor.

Medical titanium instruments are more suitable for fine microsurgery operations;

2) Good corrosion rsistance and non-toxicity, the quipment does not rust, the wound is not easy to be infected, and the wound heals quickly.

3) The medical titanium alloy has moderate elasticity and is suitable for pliers, tweezers, microscalpels and other instruments.

4) When operating the shadowless lamp, the reflective performance of medical titanium is weaker, which is more suitable than stainless steel. Medical titanium medical instruments mainly include: scalpel, surgical forceps, chest expander, suture needle,suture thread, etc. Medical titanium wire is used as surgical suture. Compared with other materials(stainless steel), it has advantages of less tissue response and good torsion resistance. After suturing, the surgical wound is not easy to be inflamed, and the bone suture site is not easy to shift. The suture thread generallu uses medical titanium wire(Gr1 or Gr2) with a diameter of 0.5-0.8mm. In addition, the soft wlasticity produced by the titanium nickel alloy wire can promote the rapid healing of the wound.

In addition, medical titanium allou is also an important medical for auxiliary rehabilitation quipment, such as wheelchairs, crutches, splints, and medical equipment.

2. Widely used in artificial joint materials

According to relevant literature reports, about 100 million patients in the world suffer from knee and hip joint inflammation every year, and replacement surgery is imperative. Therefore, the titanium alloy with excellent replacement function brings good news for this. Compared with ceramics, stainless steel and other material, the elastic modulus of titanium alloy is closer to that human bone, and it has more advantages in modulus size. Therefore, titanium alloys are widely used in the correction of anke joints and elbow joints. In addition, porous titanium alloy materials can make the prosthesis biologically active and help the healing of the femoral head. The titanium alloy surface has good biocompatibility and can induce the growth of bone cells. Therefore, it is highly praised clinicians, orthopedics experys, etc.
