Why choose titanium screw in medical treatment
Titanium is a metallic element characterized by light weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance. Because of its stable chemical properties, good resistance to high temperature, low temperature, strong acid and alkali, as well as high strength and low density, it is known as "space metal". The two outstanding advantages of titanium Z are high specific strength and strong corrosion resistance, which determines that titanium is bound to have a broad application prospect in aerospace, weapons and equipment, energy, chemical industry, metallurgy, construction and transportation. This is the difference between it and other materials, non-toxic, harmless, environmental protection, which is not other materials, so the price of titanium screws is much higher than other materials of screws, a few cents or even to a few dollars of titanium screws have.
Titanium metal material is widely used in the manufacture of medical instruments, artificial hip joint, knee joint, shoulder joint, hypochondriac joint, cranium, active heart flap, bone fixation clip.
Before the use of titanium, medical orthopedics is usually the use of stainless steel as bone material, but the use of stainless steel has a disadvantage, is rust, this has to be in the bone healing, the stainless steel sheet out, however, this is a very painful thing for patients. In the use of titanium "artificial bone", so that orthopedic technology completely changed, abandoned the stainless steel sheet. Just put titanium plates and screws where the bone is damaged, and after a few months, the bone will regrow into the holes and screws in the titanium plates. New muscle fibers are wrapped around the titanium plates. The titanium bones are attached to the flesh just like real bones, providing support and reinforcement.
At present, the patella claw commonly used in the orthopedics department of the hospital is made of titanium metal. In the refrigerator at low temperature, it can be bent into any shape. During the operation, the claw is broken and placed on the broken patella of the patient.
The custom price of titanium screw manufacturers will naturally change due to the level of titanium metal raw materials. Therefore, when customizing titanium screws, you can choose the appropriate screw material based on your actual situation and the use environment of screws.
