Application Of Medical Titanium And Titanium Alloys


As a new type of alloy, medical titanium alloy is also a carrier material, which is widely used in related fields such as limb implants, alternative functional materials, dentistry, and medical equipment. Titanium and titanium alloys have the following characteristics:

  • good corrosion resistance,

  • high specific strength,

  • low elastic modulus,

  • fatigue resistance and good biocompatibility.

    Among them, the feature of good biocompatibility makes it have unique advantages compared with other metals.

    so it is widely favored in the medical field, but due to its low wear resistance and process performance, it is committed to further improvement work.

With the rapid development of the national economy, the demand for medical titanium alloys in the medical field continues to increase due to their excellent properties. As a metal material with excellent biological properties, titanium and its alloys have good application prospects in the medical field. However, compared with developed countries, there is still a certain gap in the development and application of titanium alloy materials in my country. For example, titanium alloys have high elastic modulus, poor surface activity, poor wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Will directly affect the biocompatibility of the material. Therefore, in order to develop new titanium alloys with better comprehensive properties, my country should increase its research and development of materials, focus on innovation, and develop biomedical products with low elastic modulus, high wear resistance, corrosion resistance and excellent biocompatibility. Titanium alloy material.

Titanium has good affinity with human connective tissues and bone epithelial tissues, and its excellent mechanical properties also reflect its advantages in medical alloys. And because of its low density, light weight, good corrosion resistance and comfortable wearing, titanium is widely favored as a denture (implant). In addition, after the surface treatment of titanium dentures, the aesthetic performance is increased, which can meet the public's demand for beauty and give people a visual enjoyment.

01. Used in the direction of medical devices;

Medical titanium alloy medical equipment is the third generation surgical equipment after carbon steel and stainless steel. In order to improve the anti-rust performance of stainless steel instruments, surface treatments such as chrome plating and electropolishing are often required. But chromium is toxic, and the peeled chromium layer will have certain effects on the human body.

Medical titanium medical instruments mainly include: scalpel, surgical forceps, surgical forceps, chest expander, suture needle, suture thread, etc. Medical titanium wire is used as a surgical suture. Compared with other materials (such as stainless steel wire), it has the advantages of small tissue response and good torsion resistance.

In addition, medical titanium alloy is also an important material for auxiliary rehabilitation equipment, such as wheelchairs, crutches, splints, and medical equipment.

02, widely used in artificial joint materials

The main advantages of titanium and titanium alloy as implant restorations are:

  1. High strength, good chemical stability and biocompatibility;

  2. Non-toxic and will not cause harm to the human body;

  3. Low modulus of elasticity, more compatible with human bones

  4. The elasticity and shape recovery function of memory alloy.


In summary, the application of titanium in skull repair is mainly reflected in: the use of titanium mesh can repair the defect of the skull. Applications in the human cardiovascular system are embodied in the preparation of artificial heart valves, blood filters, pacemakers and artificial heart pumps.

In addition, medical titanium alloy is also an important material for auxiliary rehabilitation equipment, such as wheelchairs, crutches, splints, and medical equipment.
