Medical titanium tube has excellent biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, light weight and high strength, and is an ideal material for medical implants and surgical instruments. Titanium tubes are widely used in orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery, and are commonly used in the manufacture of orthopedic fixators, endoscopes, catheters and vascular stents. Medical titanium tubes usually include Gr2, Gr5 and Gr23 grades to meet the needs of different medical applications.
