Benefits of Medical Grade Titanium
Titanium benefits are many. The automotive, architectural and aerospace worlds use the metal a lot to benefit technology on a regular basis. But none of these use it more than the medical world. Titanium bar resists corrosion so much that the human bone makes it a perfect host for things like titanium rods, plates or pins. The dental part of medicine has their hand in titanium surgical treatments as well.
Titanium alloys are great because they give the body almost no chance of infection due to the purity of the metal. They are neither fracture-prone nor are they prone to corrosion. Take a look at some of these benefits of medical grade titanium:
· Corrosion Resistant
· Non-toxic
· Long-lasting
· Strong
· Lightweight
· Non-ferromagnetic
· Cost-efficient
· Biocompatible
· Flexibility
· Long range availability
A couple of the best benefits that medical grade titanium are its corrosion resistance and the high ratio concerning strength-to-weight. Put this together with the fact it isn’t toxic and the ability to fight corrosion from all bodily fluids and you have a perfect metal when it comes to medicine. In fact, no other metal can do what titanium does.
This alloy is all long-lasting and durable as well. When a doctor inserts titanium screws, pins, plates, rods or cages, they can last for two decades or maybe more. Dental titanium might even last longer. In fact, there are very few reasons why medical facilities have not already made the switch over to medical grade titanium.
