Use of tantalum foil

1. Surgical instruments
Tantalum has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, so it is widely used in surgical instruments, especially in implantable medical devices. In the manufacturing process of such products, tantalum foils may be used for the manufacture of micro-surgical instruments or for the surface coating of special precision instruments to improve their durability and corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of tantalum foil makes it an ideal material for surgical blades, scissors and other instruments.

2. Pacemakers and implanted devices
Tantalum is widely used in the manufacture of implantable medical devices such as pacemakers, especially in electrical connections and electrodes. Tantalum foils can be used to manufacture electrodes in devices, ensuring their biocompatibility and long-term stability in the body. Tantalum foils may also be used in heart stents, such as drug-coated stents, to ensure corrosion resistance and stability within blood vessels.

3. Drug delivery system
In some special drug delivery systems, tantalum strips may be used in drug containers or drug release devices. Tantalum's corrosion resistance and stability make it a suitable material for the storage or delivery of drugs, especially when drugs need to be stored for a long time or react with other chemicals.

4. Biocompatible materials
Tantalum strips can be used to create biocompatible membranes, especially in devices that come into direct contact with human tissue. Its high biocompatibility makes it an advantage as a covering material in medical devices. For example, used in vascular access devices or dialysis devices, which require direct contact with the patient's body fluids or tissues, tantalum's biocompatibility can reduce immune responses.

5. Micro electronics
Tantalum foils may be used in the manufacture of some micro-electronic medical devices, especially in the fields of sensors, medical monitoring equipment, etc. Tantalum foils can be used in circuit boards, electrodes or connecting parts of electronic devices to ensure high performance and long life.
