Why are titanium plates used in surgery?
In daily life, we often hear that some hospitals use titanium plates for surgery on patients, so what kind of metal is titanium? Why is it so favored by doctors and patients? Today, let's take a look at the important position of titanium alloys in the medical field?
1. What are the benefits of Surgical Implantation Titanium Plate?
Titanium metal has the characteristics of low density, high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, non-toxic and non-magnetic, weldable, good biocompatibility, and strong surface decoration. Structural materials are widely used in high-precision fields such as aerospace, medical equipment, sporting goods, and precision products.
2. Why Titanium Plate can be used in surgery
Titanium is "biophilic". In the human body, it can resist the corrosion of secretions and is non-toxic, and is suitable for any sterilization method. Therefore, it is widely used in the manufacture of medical devices, artificial hip joints, knee joints, shoulder joints, flank joints, skulls, active heart valves, and bone fixation clips.
3. Advantages of titanium bone setting
Before titanium, stainless steel bones were often used. But the use of stainless steel has a disadvantage, that is, it is very painful to take out the stainless steel sheet after the bone is healed. Otherwise, stainless steel will cause harm to the human body due to rust. If the use of titanium "artificial bones" will completely change the orthopedic technology. Where the bones are damaged, use titanium sheets and titanium screws. After a few months, the bones will re-grow in the small holes and screws of the titanium sheets, and the new muscle fibers will be wrapped on the titanium sheets. The titanium bones are like real The bones are connected with the flesh and blood, and play the role of support and reinforcement.
We also sell various types of titanium plate products:
Surgical Implantation Titanium Plate, Titanium Plate Block, Medical Dental Titanium Plate, ASTM B265 Titanium Plate, etc.
