Advantages of 316 stainless steel screws in the field of medical equipment

Medical equipment often comes into contact with various chemicals, disinfectants, and human body fluids during use. These media are often highly corrosive to materials. Due to the addition of molybdenum element, 316 stainless steel screws have significantly improved corrosion resistance compared to 304 stainless steel, especially when resisting highly corrosive media such as chloride ions. This good corrosion resistance ensures that medical equipment can maintain a stable connection state during long-term use, reducing failures and repair costs caused by corrosion.
Excellent biocompatibility
In the field of medical devices, the biocompatibility of materials is crucial. Due to its stable chemical composition and surface treatment process, 316 stainless steel screws can ensure good compatibility with human tissue and will not cause allergies or rejection reactions. This characteristic makes 316 stainless steel screws an ideal choice for manufacturing implantable medical devices (such as artificial joints, implants, etc.) and medical devices that are in direct contact with the human body (such as surgical instruments, dental instruments, etc.).
High strength and toughness
Medical equipment needs to withstand various complex stresses and loads during use, so the strength and toughness of connectors are crucial. 316 stainless steel screws have high tensile strength and good toughness, and can withstand large pulling and shearing forces without breaking or deforming easily. This combination of high strength and toughness ensures the stability and safety of medical equipment during surgery or treatment.
Easy to clean and disinfect
Cleaning and disinfection of medical equipment is an important part of preventing cross-infection. The surface of 316 stainless steel screws is smooth and flat, not easy to accumulate dirt and bacteria, and can withstand various commonly used cleaning agents and disinfection methods (such as alcohol, iodine, etc.). This allows medical equipment to be easily cleaned and disinfected after use, keeping the equipment hygienic and safe.
