Safeguarding Health, Starting with a Reliable "Reinforcement"

Composite materials are increasingly widely used in the medical field. Among them, carbon fiber reinforced composites play a significant role in the manufacturing of medical devices with stringent requirements due to their lightweight and high-strength characteristics. As carbon fiber technology continues to mature, more and more medical device manufacturers are adopting such materials, driving the diversification and innovation of related products.

Carbon fiber composites hold significant value in the manufacturing of prosthetics. The prosthetic socket, a key component connecting the residual limb and transmitting force, requires high load-bearing capacity and lightweight characteristics. The structure combining a carbon fiber frame with a polyethylene liner can effectively meet both functional and comfort needs. Furthermore, carbon fiber can also be used in connecting components for ankle and lower leg prostheses, not only enabling complex movements like jumping but also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the overall structure.

In medical imaging and radiation therapy equipment, carbon fiber composites are widely used in table tops for X-ray machines, CT scanners, PET scanners, and other devices. Their high radiolucency, low refraction index, and excellent mechanical properties help ensure precise radiation dose delivery, meeting the high demands placed on table tops by modern precise radiotherapy techniques. Carbon fiber table tops are not only structurally strong and lightweight but also exhibit good flatness and chemical stability.

Carbon fiber also demonstrates significant advantages in wheelchair manufacturing. Its low density, high strength, and corrosion resistance allow carbon fiber wheelchairs to significantly reduce weight while ensuring structural stability. For example, the weight of some electric wheelchairs using carbon fiber components can be reduced to 14 kilograms, while the load capacity is increased to 200 kilograms, and the range is also significantly extended. Using carbon fiber for components such as armrests, footrests, and frames makes them more durable and improves the patient's daily user experience.

In addition to carbon fiber, advanced composite materials such as fiberglass and high-performance polymers also play important roles in the medical field. They offer good biocompatibility, customizability, and high specific strength, and are widely used in various areas including prosthetics, orthotics, surgical instruments, dental restoration, and implants. For instance, in dentistry, composites can be used for restorations, orthodontic appliances, and implants, balancing aesthetics and functionality. In surgical procedures, instruments made from composite materials are both lightweight and durable, helping to improve surgical precision and reduce the operational burden on doctors.

In recent years, composite materials have also shown potential in emerging fields such as wearable medical devices, smart prosthetics, and tissue engineering. For example, prosthetics embedded with sensors can restore some sense of touch and temperature perception; antibacterial composite restorative materials are gradually being promoted in dentistry; and implant materials combining high-performance polymers with carbon fiber demonstrate excellent performance in promoting osseointegration.

However, the application of composite materials in the medical field still faces some challenges, including stringent biocompatibility and safety evaluations, high manufacturing costs, and process complexity. In the future, with advancements in materials science and manufacturing technologies, composite materials are expected to play a greater role in areas such as personalized medicine, regenerative medicine, and minimally invasive treatments, bringing more efficient and humanized solutions to the healthcare industry.
