Tungsten carbide is an extremely hard, corrosion-resistant material, so it is also widely used in the manufacture of medical devices. Here are some common applications:
1. Surgical instruments: Tungsten carbide is widely used in the manufacture of surgical instruments because of its excellent hardness and corrosion resistance, which can increase the service life and stability of instruments.
2. Medical needles: Tungsten carbide can also be used to make medical needles because it is easy to process into a sharp point and at the same time it is resistant to corrosion.
3. Medical specimen holder: The medical specimen holder made of tungsten carbide has high strength and corrosion resistance, and can be used for the clamping and manipulation of biological specimens.
4. X-ray and CT protective material: The high density and high atomic weight of tungsten carbide make it an excellent radiation protection material, which can be used to make protective shields for X-ray and CT machines. In general, tungsten carbide plays an important role in the manufacture of medical equipment, and its special properties make it a very ideal material, which is expected to be more widely used in the future.
