Application of composite materials in medical field

Carbon fiber composite materials are light in weight and excellent in mechanical properties, which makes it widely used in the field of medical devices with strict manufacturing process requirements. At present, with the maturity of carbon fiber related technologies, carbon fiber composite materials are accepted by more medical device manufacturers. Carbon fiber composite materials are widely used in medical devices, and new applications are constantly being developed. Today, let's list several common carbon fiber medical device products and look at the application of carbon fiber composite materials in medical devices.
Carbon fiber prosthesis
The link between the prosthesis and the human body is called the receiving cavity, which mainly wraps the stump and transmits force. This part of the load-bearing requirements are high, and not too heavy, carbon fiber material can also be used as a material for making this part. The part containing the stump can be made of polyethylene plate, and the support body can be made of carbon fiber frame structure to achieve easy support and transfer force.
The ankle and foot movement of the human body plays a key role in the balance and support of the body. The ankle joint made of carbon fiber can realize the human body jumping function, and the connecting part of the ankle and leg prosthesis can also be realized with carbon fiber. The whole is very beautiful.
Carbon fiber medical bed board
The application of carbon fiber in medical bed board can be said to be more. In CT diagnosis and radiation therapy, it is very important that the dose of radiation accurately reach the patient's lesion. Carbon fiber composites are widely used in X-ray digital machine, PET machine, CT machine, MR Machine, SPECT machine; Radiotherapy has rapidly developed from conventional radiotherapy to IMRT (intensity-modulated radiotherapy), IGRT (image-guided radiotherapy), IMAT (rotary intensity-modulated radiotherapy) and other precise radiotherapy technologies. These new radiotherapy technologies have greatly improved the dose accuracy, and also put forward higher requirements for the bed surface of the therapy machine.
The bed plate made of carbon fiber composite material has smooth and smooth surface and high X-ray transmittance; And allow the ray to irradiate on the bed plate at any inclined Angle, without causing a large deviation in refraction and projection of the ray, and the use of less material, to achieve the design of structural strength, stiffness, weight reduction, high tensile strength.
An overview of the application of advanced composite materials in medical field
Advanced composites enable lightweight, durable and biocompatible medical products. Composites such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, and advanced polymers can be used in prosthetics, surgical instruments, hearing AIDS, dental implants, stents, health monitoring bands, endoscopic instruments, needles and plates, hip replacements, surgical robots, and exoskeletons to provide more efficient, patient-friendly healthcare solutions.
