Titanium Uses for Medical Implants

Caroline Cantieri de Mello

Biomedical implant devices that repair injured hard tissue employ titanium alloys. Because of a persistent and inert oxide layer that develops spontaneously when its surface is exposed to oxidising fluids, CP-Ti has a greater corrosion resistance and is usually considered as the most biocompatible metal. When compared to stainless steel, titanium is both stronger and lighter. Titanium is suitable for use as an implant because of its high resilience to repeated stresses. Titanium has a higher strength under repeated load strains, which allows it to endure strain during internal attachment. Titanium is also extremely long-lasting and robust.
