Aluminum a low-cost, light-weight metal that’s in many different industries for a variety of different products. There are a number of reasons why this makes aluminium a great choice for medical implants. Biocompatibility – Aluminum is biocompatible, which means that it’s safe to use in a biomedical application like an implant. It doesn’t trigger an immune response, so it’s unlikely to cause any unwanted side effects. Corrosion resistance – Aluminum has excellent corrosion resistance. This means that it’s unlikely to react with the human body fluids, which could cause damage to surrounding tissue. It’s also unlikely to corrode and cause … Continue reading Use of aluminium alloy for biomedical implants
