The role of alumina ceramics in the medical field

Aluminum oxide ceramics have various important applications in the medical field, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Medical devices: Alumina ceramics are often used as materials for manufacturing medical devices, such as artificial joints, dental implants, bone repair implants, etc. It has good biocompatibility, is not easy to cause allergic reactions or rejection reactions, is compatible with human tissues, and has good wear resistance and chemical stability, which can maintain good performance and long-term stable operation.
Dental materials: Alumina ceramics are widely used in the dental field and are often used to manufacture dental restorative materials, such as crowns, bridges, dentures, etc. It has good biocompatibility, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, can simulate the appearance and function of natural teeth, and can maintain good oral health stably for a long time.
Medical imaging: Alumina ceramics also have applications in the field of medical imaging, such as manufacturing X-ray transmission windows, detectors for CT scanners, etc. It has good transparency and can effectively pass through X-rays or other imaging media, providing clear medical images that help doctors make accurate diagnoses.
Surgical instruments: Alumina ceramics are often used as materials for manufacturing surgical instruments, such as surgical blades, surgical forceps, etc. It has high hardness and good wear resistance, which can provide precise surgical operations, reduce tissue damage, and improve the success rate of surgery.
Artificial heart valves: Alumina ceramics are also used as materials for manufacturing artificial heart valves. It has good biocompatibility and chemical stability, can come into long-term stable contact with human blood, is not easy to cause thrombosis or infection, and effectively replaces natural heart valves
