Global medical planted instruments market unusually hot stimulus titanium growth

With the development of science and technology, all kinds of new material make it available treatment of diseases has undergone earth-shaking changes, including implantable medical devices to the treatment of diseases of the advent of many brought the Gospel. Manufacturing implantable medical devices must material titanium with medical equipment market hot, become demand exceeds supply. According to the latest statistics found that only the United States market, by the end of 2030, artificial hip and knee joint implanted device demand is expected to more than 4 million, 20 year increase of 300%, the market prospect is very good. Titanium implant equipment widely used in medical field, artificial hip standard size, type reached more than ten, this in a few years ago is unthinkable. And medical implanted devices titanium is mainly used for artificial joint, but used to rebuild damaged bone with titanium plate and titanium net amount is increasing. Titanium is widely used in medical implant instrument reason is titanium not rust and not with human tissue reaction. In addition, but also has bone growth attachment special titanium implant equipment characteristics of the surface. The new medical application in rapid development. The beginning of the year, the European implanted the first titanium jaw. The implanted device produced in Belgium. The lower jaw use laser fusion titanium metal powder in metal layer, this process is called the rapid prototyping manufacturing. Titanium a not common application is plastic surgery implanted device coating. Titanium coating developers and the supplier is the United States APS material company, the use of plasma spraying and other technology will titanium coated in the implanted on the device. Coating is usually CP (industrial pure titanium) or standard 6-4 titanium alloy. Coating designed to assist anchor implant apparatus, support bone growth. They have used in the hip and knee, and disc replacement and other medical applications.
