Used in hip and knee replacements, spinal implants, and bone screws/plates.
The material's biocompatibility ensures it integrates seamlessly with human tissue, minimizing rejection risks.
Dental Implants:
Serves as the foundation for dental prosthetics, providing a strong, lightweight, and durable structure for long-term use.
Trauma Fixation Devices:
Commonly used in fracture fixation systems like pins, rods, and external fixation devices due to its high fatigue strength and resistance to stress.
2. Surgical Instruments
Specialized Tools:
Used for making surgical tools such as forceps, scissors, and clamps, which require precision and durability.
Titanium’s non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant properties ensure these instruments perform reliably even in repeated sterilization processes.
3. Cardiovascular Applications
Heart Valve Frames:
Supports mechanical heart valves due to its lightweight and strength.
Pacemaker and Defibrillator Housings:
Provides a safe and stable enclosure that resists body fluids and preserves the functionality of these life-saving devices.
4. Prosthetics and Artificial Joints
Custom Prosthetics:
Titanium rods and bars are used in manufacturing prosthetic limbs, offering strength while keeping the overall device lightweight.
Joint Components:
Popular for shoulder, elbow, and wrist replacements due to its wear resistance and ability to endure repetitive motion.
5. Maxillofacial and Cranial Reconstruction
Plates and Screws for Facial Reconstruction:
Utilized in repairing facial fractures and deformities, offering precise fit and compatibility with bone healing processes.
Cranial Implants:
Helps in reconstructing cranial defects post-surgery or injury with a high degree of safety.
