These needle drivers are constructed of titanium, which offers several advantages for small animal surgical procedures:
100% anti-magnetic so it can be used for MRI applications
Completely resistant to corrosion from nitric acid, chloride, saltwater, and industrial and organic chemicals
Lightweight and strong with the tensile strength of carbon steel
Titanium is more flexible and 40% lighter than Inox stainless steel
When heated or cooled, the dimensions of titanium alloy change less than half of what stainless steel alloys will, making titanium surgical instruments much more durable even with autoclaving
Titanium is stain-free and temperature resistant up to 430°C.
