Description
Titanium hollow bar is a precision-engineered titanium product made
from high-strength titanium alloys, commonly used in medical and surgical applications. Titanium is valued for its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, making it an ideal material for medical implants and instruments.
Titanium hollow bars are widely used in applications such as orthopaedic implants, prosthetics, surgical instruments, and dental implants, where reliability, purity, and mechanical performance are
critical.
Common Medical Applications
Titanium hollow bars are used to manufacture:
Humerus cannulated nails
PFNA nails (Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation)
Intramedullary cannulated lateral femur nails
Tibia cannulated nails
Flexible intramedullary nails
