Titanium alloys are widely used in the medical field due to their properties such as high corrosion resistance, excellent biocompatibility and low modulus of elasticity.
Orthopedic implants: Due to Titanium alloys have excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and moderate strength features. They are widely used in orthopedic implants, such as artificial joints, fracture fixation instruments, spinal correction equipment, etc.
Dental Applications: Titanium alloy is used in dentistry for dental implants, crowns, bridges and inlays. Since the elastic modulus of titanium alloys is similar to that of natural teeth, dental implants made of titanium alloy can reduce the pressure on alveolar bone, improve stability and success rate of implants.
Cardiovascular devices: Titanium alloy is also used to manufacture medical devices such as cardiovascular stents and heart valves. These devices require materials with excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, and titanium alloys can perfectly meet these requirements.
Medical devices: The lightweight, high strength and good biocompatibility of titanium alloys make it a great ideal material for the manufacture of surgical instruments such as scalpels, forceps and pliers etc. In addition, titanium alloy is also used to manufacture assistive rehabilitation devices such as wheelchairs and crutches.
