Nickel Applications in the health sector

Medical industry utilizes stainless steel a lot in its surgical equipments because stainless steel is biocompatible and it can be cleaned, sterilized easily as well as shows sturdy and resistive nature to rust in the various environments. Traditional steel alloys are basically constituted of iron, chromium 10.5%, Carbon 1.2% however the modern stainless steel alloys that are manufactured especially for medical sector are basically consisted of Molybdenum and Nickel.

The featured stainless steel is used for fabrication of hypodermic needles and catheters and these are also purposed for surgical implants for example: bone fixation screws and prosthetic joints. In the latest times, one more specific alloy has been introduced in the industrial world : Nitinol which is another alloy constituted of Nickel and it is used in the health equipments production. Made of Nickel and Titanium, Nitinol is basically purposed for using in stent, these are tiny hollow tubes which are used to open the arteries and used in the form of resistant guidewires for positioning of the implant.

Among the countless medical operations made through every year for short and long term performance, there are several cases have been noticed for when the presence of Nickel in the implantation material was doubted for causing irritation in the part it is implanted. This opinion has been made to provide guarantee and advice about the protected use of Nickel in alloys used in the medical surgeries.

Pure Nickel is used in numerous chemical compounds and complex structure and found in the nature in different oxidation states. Nickel compounds are very ordinary and in context to carbonyl represented as Ni(CO)4, they are colorless liquids used in the electroplating. Nickel with common oxidation state of +2 is used in the vital applications that are why it is called as king of compounds. Various compounds like hydroxide, oxide and inorganic acids salts and large count of organic acids are made by using the Nickel metal as one of the reactants.

There are several chemistry applications which use Nickel at the wider rate such as electroplating, acetate, Nickel is used in the form of catalyst, mordant in the fabric production houses. Nickel is also used in the production of motor oils and lubricants and several other applications in the science labs and chemical houses.

If we consider the different nickel complex compounds, di-n-butyldithiocarbamate, is used in the production of synthetic rubber in the industries and dimethylglyoxime is used for scrutiny and in the form of color in the cosmetics. Other complex compounds such as phthalocyanine nickel (II), is used as blue particle in the dye houses and nickelocene is a popular catalyst in the chemistry reactions.

Nickel products like Nickel Wire is used in the metallurgy in the steel industry and specific steel made of nickel as a constituent is used in the aerospace companies. Nickel and copper combination is used in making coins and Nickel and chromium combination is used for making plates. Nickel, Copper and Zinc alloys are used in the jewelry production.
