Our medical-grade Titanium Wire is a top-tier choice for orthopedic surgical tools, delivering the strength, biocompatibility, and reliability that surgeons and patients depend on. Available in Grade 2 (99.2% pure titanium) and Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V with 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium), this wire meets stringent ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3 standards for medical applications. It’s perfect for crafting screws, pins, plates, and wire-based tools like Kirschner wires or cerclage wires used in bone fixation.
We offer this wire in diameters from 0.1mm to 8mm, in coils, spools, or custom-cut lengths to suit your manufacturing needs. Grade 2 is super formable, making it ideal for intricate tools, while Grade 5 brings extra strength for heavy-duty implants. Both grades resist corrosion from bodily fluids and sterilization processes, ensuring long-lasting performance. Lightweight and biocompatible, our titanium wire helps create tools that are safe, durable, and effective for orthopedic surgeries.
Our medical-grade titanium wire is a cut above for orthopedic applications. Grade 2’s tensile strength of 345-450 MPa is plenty for most surgical tools, with high ductility that makes it easy to shape into delicate components like bone pins. Grade 5, with a tensile strength of 900-1000 MPa, is a powerhouse for load-bearing implants like plates or screws, outpacing 316L stainless steel (485-620 MPa) in strength and biocompatibility. Unlike stainless steel, which can corrode in bodily fluids, our titanium wire stays corrosion-free, ensuring safety for long-term implants.
Titanium’s low density (4.43-4.51 g/cm³) compared to stainless steel (8.0 g/cm³) makes tools and implants lighter, reducing patient discomfort and surgical fatigue. Both grades are highly biocompatible, integrating seamlessly with bone and tissue without causing adverse reactions. Grade 2 is a breeze to machine and weld, while Grade 5’s hardness requires our advanced techniques to deliver flawless results. Both withstand autoclaving and chemical sterilization, making them reliable for repeated use in surgical settings.

The orthopedic industry is booming, and our medical-grade titanium wire is right at the heart of it. With an aging population and rising rates of musculoskeletal conditions, the global market for orthopedic devices is growing fast, expected to hit $60 billion by 2030. Titanium’s biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make it a go-to material for surgical tools and implants, especially as patients demand longer-lasting, safer solutions.
Minimally invasive surgeries are a big trend, requiring smaller, more precise tools. Our Grade 2 wire’s ductility is perfect for crafting fine components like micro-screws or flexible cerclage wires. Additive manufacturing is also transforming the industry, enabling custom implants and tools tailored to individual patients. Our wire is compatible with 3D printing, supporting innovative designs with less waste. Sustainability is another key driver, with manufacturers seeking eco-friendly materials and processes. We’re on board, using greener production methods to meet these demands.
Cost is a challenge, as titanium is pricier than stainless steel due to complex extraction. But advancements in recycling and production efficiency are making it more affordable, and our optimized processes keep prices competitive. The rise of robotic-assisted surgeries and smart implants is also creating new opportunities for titanium wire, and we’re ready to supply the materials needed for these cutting-edge technologies.
Applications of Medical-Grade Titanium Wire
Our medical-grade titanium wire is a star performer in orthopedic surgical tools. Grade 2 is ideal for flexible, wire-based tools like Kirschner wires and cerclage wires, used to stabilize fractures or secure bone fragments. Grade 5 shines in high-strength applications like bone screws, plates, and spinal fixation devices, where durability is critical. Both grades are used in trauma surgery, joint replacements, and spine procedures, thanks to their biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.
Beyond orthopedics, our wire finds use in other medical fields like dental implants and cardiovascular devices, where biocompatibility is key. Aerospace and marine industries also rely on it for corrosion-resistant components, and chemical processing uses it for durable piping. But in orthopedic surgery, this wire truly excels, helping surgeons repair bones and improve lives with tools that are safe, strong, and reliable.
