Medical grade titanium alloy tube

Jul 24, 2024

Medical grade titanium alloys, specifically Ti-6AL4V and Ti-6AL4VELI, are composed of 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium. These alloys, also known as Gr. 5 and Gr. 23, are the most commonly used titanium types in the medical field due to their compatibility with the human body. They are extensively used in medical procedures and body piercings. Here's an overview of the medical grade titanium alloy tube.

 

Dental Implants: Ti-6AL4V and Ti-6AL4VELI alloys are particularly favored for dental implants due to their high fracture-resistance. The implant process involves inserting a titanium screw into the jawbone, mimicking and functioning as the tooth root. Once the bone has integrated with the titanium screw, a prosthetic tooth is attached to complete the implant.
