Applications of Titanium in the Medical Sector

In the medical field, titanium finds extensive use. Titanium has no harmful side effects, is biocompatible with human tissues, and is similar to human bones. Human implants are unique, functional materials with a strong connection to human health and life.

The key benefits of utilizing titanium and titanium alloys over other metals are their low elastic modulus, lightweight nature, non-magnetic nature, non-toxicity, resistance to corrosion, high strength, and good toughness.

The proportion of titanium alloy in surgical implants is rising between five and seven percent a year. Many titanium and titanium alloy-based metal components, comprising the femoral head, hip joint, humerus, knee joint, elbow joint, shoulder joint, metacarpophalangeal joint, fastening screws, etc., have been successfully implanted into human bodies.
