Plastic Surgery
Medical titanium mesh, titanium plate, titanium nail and other implants have been widely used for internal fixation after oral and maxillofacial injuries, as well as functional repair and reconstruction after maxillofacial bone tissue resection. Skull plates can also be made for skull repair, and titanium mesh can be used to repair damaged skull and dura mater. Implants, personalized abutments, and denture brackets can be made in the oral cavity, Titanium alloy materials such as crowns and bridges have also achieved good results.
Heart Valves
The American Active Metal Company provides a titanium material for making aortic valves. Surgeons place the heart valve made of medical titanium sheet in a proper position without suturing.
Artificial Lung
Microbubble oxygenator (artificial lung), the second generation of Cardiac surgery in China, uses microporous titanium sheets in its key parts. It serves as a gas diffusion element to diffuse oxygen into the blood of patients undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass. Transforming venous blood into arterial blood serves as an artificial lung during surgery when the patient's own lung pauses.
Artificial joints
Medical titanium sheet are commonly used for artificial femoral joints, artificial knee joints, and bone plates, which are suitable for plastic surgery. Rheumatism, which means severe joint and muscle pain, is also an allergic disease, which makes it difficult to walk. If patients with this disease undergo artificial femoral joint and artificial knee Joint replacement, the pain can be completely eliminated and they can walk
