Titanium For Orthopedic Devices
Titanium is a standard material for orthopedic devices such as hip joints, bone screws, knee joints, bone plates, and dental implants due to the strength to weight ratio of the material, and its immunity to body fluids.
The body readily accepts titanium since it is more biocompatible than stainless steel or cobalt chrome. Titanium also has a higher fatigue strength than many other metals. The qualities of titanium prove to be MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computed Tomography) compatible.
Chemical and mechanical-property test reports accompany each shipment. Inventory is 100% traceable from mill processing through melt source to maintain quality control requirements. Titanium Industries has achieved ISO 9002 certification.
