Description

What It Is


This product is exactly what you'd expect from a Medical Titanium rod ASTM F136 spinal fixation material - made specifically for spinal surgery, such as deformity correction rods or pedicle screw connectors.
It's made from Gr23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI): non corrosive, strong, light, and safe for long term implantation.
These rods are ASTM F136, for spinal fixation systems. Pick your diameter, length, finish. Each batch has a heat number and report - traceable all the way back.

Why It Works Well for Spinal Fixation

 

 

  • High fatigue strength – Gr23 has very low interstitials, so it won't break easily under repeated bending and stretching. Studies show the fretting fatigue strength can be enhanced significantly with proper surface treatment
  • Smooth surface – less friction and wear when sliding into screw heads.
  • Good straightness – long rods stay straight and are easy to bend during surgery.
  • Tight diameter tolerance – fits nicely with pedicle screw systems.
  • Fully traceable – each rod comes with a heat number, mechanical test report, and ultrasonic inspection.
  • Excellent spring back properties – holds its shape during surgical contouring

When you're sourcing Medical Titanium rod ASTM F136 spinal fixation, these are the features that actually matter in the OR.

Clinical Applications

 

 

Spinal fixation systems using Medical Titanium rod ASTM F136 spinal fixation are widely used for:

  • Degenerative Disc Disease – stabilization of affected spinal segments
  • Spondylolisthesis – Grade 3 and 4 cases, particularly at L5-S1
  • Spinal fractures – acute reduction or late deformity correction
  • Idiopathic and neuromuscular scoliosis – deformity correction with hooks and screws
  • Neoplastic disease – spinal stabilization following tumor resection
  • Previous failed fusion – revision procedures requiring robust hardware

The system components (screws, hooks, rods, connectors) work together to provide immobilization and stabilization of spinal segments, serving as an adjunct to spinal fusion.

 

Why Gr23Instead of Standard Gr5?

 

 

Here's what that means in practice:

Property Gr23 (ELI) Standard Gr5
Oxygen content ≤0.13% ≤0.20%
Fatigue strength Higher Lower
Fracture toughness Better Standard
Ductility ≥10% ≥8%
Best for Long-term implants General industrial

Gr23's lower oxygen content means better fatigue performance - critical for spinal rods that face millions of load cycles over a patient's lifetime. The material meets ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3, the gold standards for surgical implant materials

 

Manufacturing Process (Medical Grade)

 

 

Every Medical Titanium rod ASTM F136 spinal fixation goes through a rigorous production process:

  • Raw material – Grade 0 titanium sponge, precise alloying. No cheap fillers.
  • Melting – Triple VAR (vacuum arc remelting). Gets rid of inclusions, keeps composition uniform.
  • Forging & rolling – Multi-pass rolling. Dense microstructure, no weak spots.
  • Heat treatment – Vacuum annealing. Relieves stress, dials in the mechanical properties.
  • Straightening & machining – Tight control on diameter and surface finish. This is where a lot of suppliers slip - we don't.
  • Ultrasonic testing – 100% UT. Every rod gets checked for internal flaws, not just a random sample.
  • Final inspection – Dimensional check, surface quality, packaging. Nothing ships unless it passes.

 

What's Included with an Order

 

 

Mill test report (chemical & mechanical)

Ultrasonic inspection report

Dimensional inspection record

Traceability label (heat number & lot number)

Biocompatibility certification per ISO 10993 (upon request)

Every Medical Titanium rod ASTM F136 spinal fixation we ship comes with full documentation. No shortcuts.

 

FAQ

 

 

Q: Are your spinal rods smooth or textured?

A: We can do polished (smooth) or fine-ground. For spinal fixation, polished is usually preferred - it glides better with screws. Just tell us what you need.

Q: Is there a minimum order quantity? Can we buy just a few pieces as a sample?

A: No high MOQ. Even a few pieces is fine for prototyping. Bulk orders are welcome too.

Q: Have you exported spinal rods before?

A: Yes. We've shipped similar Medical Titanium rod ASTM F136 spinal fixation products overseas before. We can provide the paperwork you need for customs.

Q: What diameters and lengths do you offer besides standard sizes?

A: We can customize from 2.0mm to 30mm diameter, lengths up to 3000mm. Send your drawing and we'll match it exactly.

Q: Do you offer pre-bent rods?

A: Yes. We can supply straight rods or pre-bent to your specified curvature Just provide the bend radius and angle.
