Why titanium matters in medical applications
Biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, high strength and low weight have made titanium one of the most important materials in the medical industry.
These properties make titanium suitable for medical applications where material reliability, long-term performance and compatibility with the human body are critical.
Medical applications
Titanium is widely used in medical applications, including:
- orthopaedic implants
- spinal implants
- trauma plates and screws
- dental implants and prosthetics
- surgical instruments
- medical devices and components
- tubes and small precision parts
- components for medical equipment
Commercially pure titanium is often used where excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance are required. Titanium alloys — especially Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) and Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) — are selected where higher strength, fatigue resistance and reliable mechanical performance are needed.
What Hermith supplies for medical manufacturers
Product forms
- Titanium bars

Grades and alloys
- Commercially pure titanium, Grades 1–4
- Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)
- Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI or Grade 5 ELI)
- Ti-6Al-7Nb
Grade 23 is a version of Grade 5 with controlled lower levels of interstitial elements such as oxygen and carbon, and of iron — suitable for implants, prosthetics and other components where material reliability is important.
