Application of titanium alloy plate in medical field

Titanium plate is a very common substance, and the purity of sponge titanium can reach 99.9%. The physical and chemical properties of titanium alloy products are very stable, they will not be absorbed by the human body, and they will not react chemically with body fluids and medicines, nor will they be ionized, nor will they react with the musculoskeletal body of the human body. Biophilic Metals". Because titanium is "biophilic", titanium in the human body can resist the corrosion of secretions and is non-toxic, and is suitable for any sterilization method. Therefore, the titanium plates produced by many titanium plate manufacturers are widely used in the manufacture of medical devices, the manufacture of human hip joints, knee joints, shoulder joints, flank joints, skull bones, active heart valves, and bone fixation clips.

Titanium metal materials are the earliest biomedical materials used in clinical medicine. Titanium plates are processed into Grade 23 Ti-6Al-4V ELI Titanium Sheet. The metal materials currently used for surgical implants and orthopedic instruments mainly include three series of stainless steel, cobalt-based alloys, and titanium alloys, which account for three major series. The market share of the entire biomaterial product is about 40%. Among them, titanium alloys have been widely used in the repair, orthopedic and replacement treatment of defects, trauma, and diseases of human hard tissues (including all bones and teeth in the human torso).

 Since the middle of the 20th century, medical metal materials based on titanium alloys have been shown in the surgical implantation of human hard tissues and the interventional treatment of human soft tissues (including cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, peripheral blood vessels, and non-vascular such as liver, biliary tract, urethra, etc.). It has a unique and miraculous curative effect, and titanium alloy artificial joints, dental implants, intravascular stents, and heart valves have the development, production, and application of titanium alloy materials for medical devices in China, and the advent of typical representative medical device products. The development of medicine has an epoch-making significance and revolutionary contribution, which makes the clinical treatment rise from the primary simple "repair and orthopedic" treatment to the higher-level "replacement" treatment of tissues and organs, which greatly improves and improves people's lives. The quality has overcome the deficiency that major diseases can only rely on drug treatment in the past.
