Metals for Medical Devices Outline
• Properties of metals for medical devices
• Safety and health issues
• Improving metals corrosion behavior
II. Properties of metals for medical devices
• They exhibit plasticity and elasticity.
Required to maintain dilatation
• They are safe for use.
• They are highly efficient in elongation to fracture.
Used for maxillofacial plate and spinal fixation
Improves durability.
• High-quality metals have an elastic modulus
Prevents bone absorption by stress shielding
Improves the metals’ mechanical compatibility
III. Safety and health issues
• Metal devices increase bone fractures.
• The metal devices are associated with inefficiency of fixation implants.
IV. Improving metals corrosion behavior
• Porous absorbable metals are better than polymers.
They have superior mechanical properties
They have slow corrosion and high strength
• Alternative metals are available for temporary implant applications.
• MP-1TMbiomaterials can be used to develop alternatives to metallic biomaterials.
Alternative metals can be radio-opaque
Have the ability to prevent biofilm growth
Are capable of delaying blood clotting
V. Understanding the properties of metals for medical devices is essential because it can help in addressing the health issues that are related to the use of metals with unfavorable corrosive behavior.
• Metals for medical devices should be improved or alternatives developed.
• Enhancing the efficiency of fixation implants and the quality of metals for medical devices can improve health outcomes.
• Future medical devices might be radio-opaque have the ability to prevent biofilm growth, and capable of delaying blood clotting.
