| Why These Materials Are Used in Healthcare Industry | 1. Exceptional Biocompatibility:
– Non-toxic, non-allergenic and non-carcinogenic to human tissue – Osseointegrative, allowing bone to grow directly onto the implant surface – No adverse immune reactions or inflammatory responses – The only material approved by FDA for long-term implantation in the human body 2. Superior Corrosion Resistance: – Forms a stable, self-healing titanium oxide layer that protects against body fluids – Immune to corrosion from blood, saliva, urine and other bodily secretions – Eliminates metal ion release that can cause tissue damage and allergic reactions – Gr.7 provides additional crevice corrosion resistance for dental implants 3. Optimal Mechanical Properties: – Excellent strength-to-weight ratio, 40% lighter than stainless steel – Low modulus of elasticity (110 GPa) that matches human bone (10-30 GPa) – Reduces stress shielding, a common cause of implant failure – Excellent fatigue resistance for long-term implant performance 4. Excellent Fabricability: – Good formability for complex implant shapes – Excellent machinability for precision surgical instruments – Compatible with all common surface treatments including anodization and coating – Can be sterilized by all standard methods without degradation |
