THANK YOU TO OUR PHOTO CONTRIBUTORS A Dynamet product forms include: wire, E fine wire, precision shapes, coil, strip, and bar. Compositions and mechanical properties can be tailored to meet custom requirements. Customers can specify rectangle or square shaped bar or wire for machining applications, as well as hexagon shaped bar. Bars are available in standard A or custom cut lengths.

B A dental implant is B essentially a titanium screw or cylinder, between 8 and 16 mm long, which is inserted into a prepared bony socket in the jaw and acts as a replacement root for the missing tooth. A special attachment called the abutment, which is fitted to the top of the implant, forms the external connection for the new replacement tooth (crown) or teeth (bridge or denture). During healing, the titanium surface of the implant fuses with the surrounding bone, in a process known as osseointegration, which can take about 3-6 months. After this time, the implant is stable enough to support one or more false teeth. Titanium improves the quality of individual lives when it is used for medical and dental implants, prosthetic devices, eyeglasses and even lightweight wheelchairs. C These titanium dowels and plates are anodized by Titanium Finishing Company and supplied as customer samples to illustrate the base colors available in the titanium anodize process. In this instance, Hub Wilson Photography out of Allentown, Pennsylvania decided to exercise their creative side and create abstract photos in the shape E C D of a spine. A very fitting representation, as titanium anodize is used heavily in the medical field for both product and size identification, as well as product appeal and enhancement. Titanium Finishing Company www.titaniumfinishing. com D The Fenix System has three components: an implant, an anal sphincter sizing tool and an introducer tool. The implant is a series of titanium beads with magnetic cores that are connected by titanium wires to form a ring shape. The attractive force of the magnetic beads augments the anal sphincter to minimize involuntary opening of the anal canal, reducing the likelihood of severe fecal incontinence. The implant device is offered in multiple sizes to accommodate variation in sphincter size. The sizing tool is used to associate the anal sphincter size to an appropriate implant. The introducer tool is used to guide the sizing tool and the implant into position. The Fenix System is designed by Torax Medical www.toraxmedical.com/fenix/ This photo displays a Titanium hip joint. Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Hip replacement surgery can be performed as a total replacement or a hemi (half) replacement. Such joint replacement orthopaedic surgery is generally conducted to relieve arthritis pain or in some hip fractures. A total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty) consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently the most common orthopaedic operation. 8 TITANIUMTODAY
Welcome Letter Welcome to Titanium Today If you are reading the Medical edition of Titanium Today you are most likely already familiar with how Titanium improves the quality of individual lives when it is used in medical and dental implants. Almost every day we hear about the wonders of this high performance metal in the ways it is being used for new medical applications. It’s really a very exciting time for titanium in the medical industry. Titanium implants are used to replace or stabilize broken bones. Tiny titanium implants are even used to improve hearing in people with some types of deafness by drilling a titanium rod into the skull behind the ear and attaching it to an external sound-processing unit. The external unit picks up sounds and transmits the vibration through the titanium implant to the inner ear, bypassing any problems in the middle ear. Jennifer Simpson Executive Director International Titanium Association There are continued developments in the use of “Tifoam” a structure of polyurethane foam saturated with titanium powder. The porous structure mimics human bone and allows human bone cells to penetrate and meld with the implant as the person heals. There are countless examples of how Titanium is used in existing and new medical applications. I hope you will enjoy this edition and contact the International Titanium Association with your thoughts and suggestions for future coverage.
