Application description of medical titanium alloy wire

Medical titanium alloy wire material relies on excellent biocompatibility, high toughness, good braiding ability, and resistance to body fluid corrosion. It is mainly suitable for manufacturing implants and instruments that require flexible shaping, precision connection, or minimally invasive intervention in the medical field. Its core applications cover multiple fields such as orthopedics, dentistry, cardiovascular medicine, surgery, and medical aesthetics. The specific uses are as follows:

1、 Orthopedic field

It can be processed into medical sutures, tension band steel wires (such as patellar fracture fixation), orthopedic anchor sutures, etc. for fracture fixation. With good flexibility and strength, it can achieve precise fixation of the fracture site and soft tissue suture repair. It is also resistant to body fluid corrosion and can be left in the body for a long time, reducing the pain of secondary surgery removal; It can also be used to manufacture connecting steel wires in spinal fixation systems, achieving stable fixation of spinal vertebrae through weaving or winding, and assisting in structural reconstruction and functional recovery after spinal injury.

2、 Dental field

It is one of the core materials for orthodontic treatment, which can be made into various types of orthodontic archwires (such as round wires and square wires). With excellent elasticity and shaping memory, it provides sustained and gentle orthodontic force for teeth, guides teeth to align neatly, and has excellent biocompatibility, which can avoid stimulating oral mucosa; In addition, it can also be used for suturing and fixing dental implants, connecting wires for oral restorations, etc., suitable for complex and narrow space operations in the oral cavity, ensuring the stability of the restoration effect.

3、 Cardiovascular field

Widely used in the manufacturing of minimally invasive interventional instruments, it can be made into a woven skeleton for vascular stents (such as coronary stents and peripheral vascular stents). Through precision weaving technology, a mesh structure with good expandability and support is formed. After implantation of blood vessels, it can accurately adhere to the vessel wall, support diseased blood vessels and restore blood flow, and is resistant to blood corrosion and has good biocompatibility, reducing the risk of thrombosis; It can also be used as electrode lead wires for pacemakers and defibrillators, with the characteristics of high conductivity and flexibility, to achieve stable transmission of electrical signals in the body and adapt to the dynamic activity needs of the heart.

4、 Surgical field

It can be made into medical sutures (suitable for internal organs and soft tissue suturing), puncture guide wires for laparoscopic surgery, etc. It has good flexibility and sufficient strength, which can reduce tissue damage during surgery. At the same time, it is resistant to disinfection and corrosion (high temperature and high pressure steam disinfection, chemical disinfection, etc.), ensuring surgical safety.

5、 Medical beauty field

It can be used to make protein thread core wires for buried thread lifting, support wires for nose/chin shaping, etc. With biocompatibility and degradability (some medical titanium alloy wires), it can achieve facial contour lifting or local shaping, with mild postoperative reactions and short recovery period.
