Stainless steel benefits doctors and patients
Advanced medicine calls for maximum safety of all components and systems. Stainless steel and titanium offer all the qualities needed for research and practice – whether in medical implants, surgical instruments or the walls of operating theaters. Stainless steel precision strip is of major importance in medicine as a starting material for precision tubes and hypodermic needles. With many drugs, attention has to be paid to adequate corrosion resistance against possible aggressive ingredients.
ThyssenKrupp Nirosta produces materials which are used among other things to manufacture special spray cans and nozzles for this purpose. Thanks to its biocompatibility titanium is in demand as a starting material for medical products such as joint protheses, bone fixing materials, dental implants and artificial heart valves.
