An artificial titanium alloy heart has set a 100-day survival record, ushering in a new era in medicine.
The titanium alloy shell and core reduce the weight of the product to 650 grams, while maintaining high strength and easing the patient's physical exertion.
The corrosion resistance of the material prevents oxidation and degradation even during prolonged contact with blood.
At the same time, the titanium alloy rotor uses magnetic levitation to reduce wear and the risk of failure. The low shear force minimizes hemolysis and thrombosis, and the special coating ensures smooth and stable operation.
After surgery, the patient's vital signs quickly stabilize, and the heart maintains efficient operation for more than 100 days without failures. Its replaceable external battery and percutaneous transmission system provide the potential for long-term use, surpassing the service life of traditional artificial hearts from 2 to 5 years.
According to experts, the titanium artificial heart provides a more reliable solution for end-stage heart failure. As titanium alloy processing evolves, its use in artificial joints, bone repair, and dental implants is expected to increase, paving the way for broader medical applications.
