Titanium mesh, as a high-performance screening and filtering material, is widely used in screening, filtering, gas, liquid filtering and separation of other media under various acid and alkaline environmental conditions. Its unique material and performance make titanium mesh play an irreplaceable role in many fields.

01 Types of titanium mesh

Titanium mesh is divided into three categories according to the production process: woven titanium mesh, punched titanium mesh, and titanium demisting mesh.

The first category: woven titanium mesh is produced by pure titanium wire weaving, with plain, twill, Zhuli, dense and other types. Woven titanium mesh is mainly used for seawater filtration, chemical and pharmaceutical filtration, medical filtration, and electrolytic cell titanium anode.

The second category: punched titanium mesh is produced by punching pure titanium plate, with round, square, triangular or other special-shaped holes. It is often used as filter plate, chemical tower support plate, ion membrane electrolyzer electrode, battery collector net, etc.

The third category: titanium demisting mesh is knitted and woven from pure titanium wire, which can effectively remove 3--5um droplets. It is mainly used for tower packing, gas-liquid separation, removal of liquid foam in air flow, and filtering of tiny liquid foam.

 

02 Application fields of medical titanium mesh

Titanium mesh is widely used in the medical direction. Because of its good biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, high strength and flexibility, it is widely used in many medical fields.

1. Application in orthopedic surgery 1. Fracture repair: The mesh structure of titanium mesh can avoid fracture separation, enhance fracture end stress, and promote fracture healing. 2. Bone defect repair: In bone defect repair, medical titanium mesh can be used as a support to fill the defect area and restore the integrity and stability of the bone. It can also be combined with autologous bone or allogeneic bone for transplantation to promote the formation and integration of new bone.

2. Application in dental surgery 1. Cementum hyperplasia repair: In cementum hyperplasia repair, medical titanium mesh can be used as a bone graft material to provide support and guidance to promote the formation and integration of new bone. 2. Dental implant surgery: In dental implant surgery, medical titanium mesh can be used as a supporting structure for the implant to ensure the stability and long-term success rate of the implant.

3. Other medical applications 1. Artificial joints: Medical titanium mesh is often used to make artificial joints, such as hip joints, knee joints, etc., due to its good biocompatibility and mechanical properties. It can be used as an implant for joint replacement surgery to restore the patient's joint function and mobility. 2. Chest wall defect repair: In chest wall defect repair, medical titanium mesh can be used as a reconstruction material to fill the defect area and restore the integrity and stability of the chest wall. It can also provide support to prevent the occurrence of pathological and physiological changes such as chest wall softening, abnormal respiratory movements and mediastinal swing. 3. Maxillofacial fracture repair: Medical titanium mesh also has significant advantages in maxillofacial fracture repair. It can be used as an internal fixation material to repair fractures and restore the anatomical structure and function of the maxillofacial region. The mesh structure of the titanium mesh is conducive to soft tissue attachment and vascularization, promoting fracture healing and restoration of facial morphology.

 

03 Characteristics and advantages of medical titanium mesh

Biocompatibility: Titanium mesh has good biocompatibility with human tissue and will not cause obvious tissue reaction or rejection reaction, so it is suitable for use as a long-term implant.

High strength and rigidity: Titanium mesh has high strength and rigidity, can provide stable mechanical support, and ensure the stability and recovery effect of the implant site.

Corrosion resistance: Titanium mesh has good corrosion resistance, can maintain stable performance in various complex environments, and will not pollute the human physiological environment.

Personalized design: Through digital reconstruction technology, the most suitable titanium mesh shape and size can be customized according to the specific situation of the patient, improving the degree of personalization and treatment effect.

04 Future development trend of medical titanium mesh

High performance: In the future, medical titanium mesh will pay more attention to the development of high performance, such as improving the strength, toughness, corrosion resistance and other performance indicators of the material to meet more complex medical needs.

Low cost: With the continuous advancement of production technology and the intensification of market competition, the production cost of medical titanium mesh is expected to be further reduced, thereby promoting its wider application.

Personalized customization: With the widespread application of advanced manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, medical titanium mesh will pay more attention to the development of personalized customization to meet the specific needs of different patients.

Bioactivation: Through surface modification, bioactive coating and other technical means, the titanium mesh is given better bioactivity to promote its integration and regeneration with surrounding tissues.

With the aging of the population and the improvement of people's health awareness, the market demand for medical devices and implants continues to grow. It not only plays a key role in plastic surgery, ophthalmic surgery and cardiovascular surgery, but also shows great application potential in other medical fields. With the continuous advancement and innovation of medical technology, the application of titanium mesh in the medical direction will be more extensive and in-depth.
