Features
- Common Materials
- Modern implants use a range of advanced biomaterials, often in combination:
Technical Specifications
| Titanium Alloys (e.g., Ti | 6Al-4V): Known for excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and a modulus of elasticity closer to bone than other metals, making them ideal for load-bearing applications. |
| Stainless Steel (e.g., 316L) | Strong and relatively inexpensive, but primarily used for temporary fixation devices (plates, screws) due to lower long-term corrosion resistance compared to titanium or cobalt-chrome. |
| Cobalt | Chromium Alloys: Very strong with excellent wear and corrosion resistance, commonly used for the articulating surfaces in hip and knee prostheses. |
| Ultra | High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE): Used as the artificial cartilage or a joint liner (spacer) in knee and hip replacements due to its low friction and wear properties. |
| PEEK (Polyether ether ketone) | A high-performance polymer used in spinal implants for its mechanical properties and radiolucency (doesn't interfere with imaging). |
| Alumina and Zirconia | Used for bearing surfaces due to extreme hardness, wear resistance, and chemical inertness. |
| Hydroxyapatite (HA) | A coating material that is chemically similar to bone mineral, applied to metal implants to encourage bone bonding. |
