Titanium is a lightweight, high-strength, low-corrosion structural metal and commercially pure alpha (α) alloy. Titanium Grade 1 and 2 has a lower density making it very desirable where weight can be a concern. Ti Gr.9 has higher strength and better resistance to corrosion than Ti Gr.1 and Ti Gr.2, making it more suitable for applications where higher strength and corrosion resistance are required. However, Ti Gr.9 is more difficult to machine than Ti Gr.1 and Ti Gr.2 due to its higher strength and hardness.

Titanium marker bands are cutted from titanium capillary tubes. They are designed to be highly visible on imaging scans such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs. They are typically placed near the implanted device during surgery, and their presence on imaging scans allows the surgeon to confirm the location and orientation of the device.
There are several benefits to using titanium marker bands in orthopedic surgery. First, they are highly visible and provide a clear reference point for follow-up imaging. This can be crucial in assessing the success of the surgery, identifying potential complications or device failure, and determining the need for further intervention.
In addition, titanium marker bands are considered safe and effective for use in medical devices. They are biocompatible and have a low risk of causing adverse reactions or complications.
