Innovation and development in the medical field have always attracted much attention, which is closely linked to people's vital interests. Recently, the application of alumina ceramics with high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance in medicine has set off a wave again. Relevant phenomena show that the application of alumina ceramics in the medical field has a very broad development prospect. So, what are the specific applications of medical alumina ceramics in the medical field? Let's take a look!
1.Bone tissue substitute
In orthopedic surgery, medical alumina ceramics can be used as a substitute for bone tissue to help correct. It can also be used as artificial joints or bones; it can be used as dental dentures and porcelain dentures, etc., which can effectively solve the problem of no substitutes, and alumina ceramics have many excellent properties, in the process of use. It is also very reliable and safe.
2.Making surgical tools
Alumina ceramics have the characteristics of light weight and high hardness, so they can be used for medical purposes. General medical alumina ceramics can be used as ceramic scalpels, and this scalpel can be used once or multiple times. The reason why ceramics are used as scalpels is that scalpels made of this material can effectively avoid bacterial infection of wounds during surgery. At the same time, this kind of knife also has a certain guarantee for the healing of wounds, of course, it can be used.
3.Make separation filters and membranes
As we all know, medicine involves a lot of medical supplies. Sometimes it is necessary to separate and filter biological liquids, and other materials cannot achieve a good separation effect. Therefore, medical alumina ceramics can be used as separation filters and membranes to contribute to the separation of biological fluids. In addition, the ceramic itself is corrosion-resistant, so there is no worry that biological liquids will corrode the filter during use, which is very safe.
4.Precautions for medical alumina ceramics
Although alumina ceramics have many controllable and high-quality properties, care must be taken when doing medical use. It should be noted that when medical alumina ceramics are put into use, how long is the service life under the dual influence of uncontrollable or controllable factors, this is one of them. The second is to consider the compatibility with human tissue when making bone tissue substitutes. Otherwise, some artificial joints or artificial bones will have a huge rejection phenomenon after being put into use. Finally, it is worth noting that the hard conditions of the finished product made of alumina ceramics should be considered.
The above is the application of alumina ceramics in medicine. It can be seen that alumina ceramics have a wide range of applications. This is a progress in the medical field. It is a very beneficial thing for doctors, patients and alumina ceramic manufacturers, and it is worthy of praise.
