Application of Titanium in Medicine
The application of titanium in medicine:
1. Titanium, as a new material, has been used for decades in the pharmaceutical industry, surgical instruments, human implants and other fields in China and the world, and has achieved great success.
2. Titanium and titanium alloys can be used to make artificial joints, plate and screw, which are widely used in clinic. It is also used for hip joint (including femoral head), knee joint, elbow joint, metacarpophalangeal joint, artificial heart (heart valve), artificial implant tooth, artificial vertebral body (spine orthosis), pacemaker shell, interphalangeal joint, mandible, and titanium mesh in skull plastic and so on.
3. The requirements for implant materials can be classified into three aspects: biocompatibility between materials and human body, corrosion resistance of materials in human environment and mechanical properties of materials.
