Titanium:
biocompatibility, durability and cost-efficiency continue to improve

By Kim Crabtree

Titanium has become a vital material in modern medicine due to its strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, and exceptional biocompatibility with high long-term success rates and minimal risk of rejection. Its non-ferromagnetic nature makes it MRI-safe, and its durability supports better healing outcomes compared to materials like stainless steel. Though more expensive, titanium’s costs are becoming more manageable, and demand is expected to surge with the aging population. Innovations like beta-titanium alloys, surface treatments, and 3D-printed implants continue to expand its medical potential.

PFAS

No Longer “Forever Chemicals”

By Dr. Christina Reufsteck

Because of the environmental and health risks that PFAS ─ per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances ─ pose, they are subject to a potential ban across the European Union. Such a ban would introduce a need for medical device manufacturers to identify and discontinue the sale of products containing PFAS, while also developing safe and effective alternatives. How will suppliers across the EU approach the impending shift away from these “forever chemicals”?
