German materials company TANIOBIS is advancing its AMtrinsic powder range for use in additive manufacturing of medical implants, positioning tantalum and niobium alloys as a clinically superior alternative to the titanium standard that still accounts for more than 90 percent of orthopedic and dental implants worldwide. The Limits of a Long-Standing Standard Ti-6Al-4V’s mechanical strength&#…

Researchers from the Additive Manufacturing Laboratory at Tallinn University of Technology (TalTech), Prof. Dr.-Ing. Prashanth Konda Gokuldoss and Mayank Kumar Yadav, have developed a new type of metal implant designed to support bone healing. Their work has been published in the journal Advanced Light Materials.

Biomaterials for medical implantation- Research strategies Biomaterials and medical instruments are widely researched and incorporated, which greatly increase the quality of human life, thanks to the […] The post Biomaterials for medical implantation- Research strategies appeared first on Pubrica .

A novel, bacteria-repelling coating material that could increase the success of medical implants has been created by researchers. The material helps healthy cells ‘win the race’ to the medical implant, beating off competition from bacterial cells and thus reducing the likelihood of the implant being rejected by the body. The first results of the material’s performance have been published today, 3…

Titanium in its unalloyed condition is as strong as some steels, but 45% lighter. However, this is not the main reason why titanium finds widespread use in implants and biomedical devices. It also has excellent corrosion resistance, bio-compatibility, and lack of magnetism. Microporous titanium provides two additional advantages for implant applications: first, it reduces the stiffness of the mat…
