MRI Titanium Surgical Supplies

Titanium is becoming the material of choice for surgical instruments everywhere, particularly in the MRI suite where it is entirely non-magnetic with a very low occurrence of artifacts. When choosing titanium, surgeons enjoy a multitude of benefits, such as being 45% lighter than stainless steel, making the surgeon's work more comfortable, and less tiresome. Titanium has a better "memory" than stainless steel, instruments come back to their original shape longer. Despite its flexibility, titanium is stronger and more durable than stainless steel, increasing the instrument's life. And unlike typical stainless surgical supplies, the needle won’t stick to the needle holders. Titanium surgical supplies are often finished in a unique shade of blue, which gives the instrument a low glare in surgical lights and makes it easily recognizable. Titanium can also be used in conjunction with other electrosurgical equipment, with the titanium instrument being even be less prone to tissue adhesion.
