Medical grade titanium
Titanium
and titanium alloys are used in medicine, surgery, patient implants and for use
as instruments throughout the medical and surgical profession.
Standard : ASTM F67, ASTM F136,
ISO 5832-3, ISO 5832-2
Applications:
Bone
and Joint Replacement; Cardiovascular Devices; External Prostheses; Dental
Implants; Surgical Instruments; Craniofacial and Maxillofacial Treatments.
Medical grade titanium is used in
producing:
Pins,
Bone plates, Screws, Bars, Rods, Wires, Posts, Expandable rib cages, Spinal
fusion cages, Finger and toe replacements, Maxillofacial prosthetics.
Medical Grade Titanium:
TNTI
Ti6Al4V ELI is a preferred grade for medical/dental applications because of
highly favourable combination of biocompatibility, excellent corrosion
resistance, high strength and low modulus of elasticity. Typical applications
are joint replacement (hip, knee, shoulder), bone fixation devices, surgical
clips, cryogenic vessels, surgical tools.
Ti6Al4V
ELI is an alpha-beta titanium alloy mainly used for medical implant
applications. It is an Extra Low Interstitial alloy with a high purity, which
confers improved ductility and fracture toughness. Ti-6Al-4V ELI offer greater
fracture-resistance when used in dental implants. The implant procedure begins
with the insertion of a titanium screw into the jaw. The screw resembles and
acts like the root of the tooth. After an allotted amount of time has passed
for the bone to have grown into the medical grade titanium screw, a fake tooth
is connected to the implant.
Most
all of us know someone who has required orthopedic surgery to replace a failing
hip socket, shoulder joint or severely broken bone. It’s very likely medical
grade titanium was the material of choice for surgeons when reconstructing
these parts of the body. The natural titanium properties make it a perfect
alloy to be used within the body. Some of the most common applications for
titanium are in hip and knee replacement surgeries. It is also used to replace
shoulder and elbow joints and to protect the vertebrae following complicated
and invasive back surgery. Titanium pegs are used to attach false eyes and ears
and titanium heart valves are even competing with regular tissue valves.
The
grade meets the stringent requirements of all applicable standards for implant
materials. Titanium has been selected as a metal of choice in the orthopedic
segment of the market because it is inert in the human body, it has been proven
to be compatible with bone density. Being strong and with a low modulus, hence
making it an excellent material of choice in the orthopedic arena.
The
human body readily accepts titanium as it has been proven to be more
biocompatible than stainless steel or cobalt chrome. In addition, titanium has
a higher fatigue strength than many other metals. Compatibility with MRI
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computed Technology) also contribute to
the selection of titanium as the material of choice in orthopedic applications.
