 Paediatric and premature surgery

 Vascular surgery

Twice as flexible compared to stainless steel

 Better control on pressure : titanium clamp is less traumatic

 More comfort for the surgeon

 Titanium has a better “memory” than stainless steel

 Intruments come back to their original shape longer

 Despite his flexibility, titanium is stronger and more durable than stainless steel

High resistance to corrosion
 The instruments last more

 Rust is one of the first factor leading to breakage of stainless steel instruments

 The titanium instruments may be sterilized with, and as stainless steel instruments
