Why Titanium?
Titanium is a material that has many extraordinary benefits within the medical field, particularly with regard to surgical instruments. Most notably:
- It is harder than some steel, making it very durable and long-lasting
- Despite its density, titanium is extremely light-weight
- Titanium is very resistant to corrosion, while oxidation can occur, it does not rust
- Titanium possesses an innate ability to fight corrosion from bodily fluids
- The most common color of anodized titanium is blue, which is fairly non-reflective
- Titanium can tolerate heat of up to 440º C or 824º F, making it safe for Immediate Use/"Flash" Sterilization
- It is non-magnetic, and therefore does not cause adverse reactions with other steel instruments or equipment
