Carbon fiber composites, due to their stable chemical properties, high strength, lightweight physical properties, high X-ray transmittance, and low X-ray absorption, are frequently used in the medical radiology field to manufacture medical bed boards.
Firstly, they possess very stable chemical properties. As a non-metallic material, carbon fiber composites are chemically inert and do not react with acids, alkalis, or salts. Therefore, substances such as pharmaceutical residues, blood, and alcohol will not affect the carbon fiber panels, making them widely valued in medical devices and biomaterials.
Secondly, they possess high strength and low density. High strength makes them less prone to breakage, ensuring safety during use; low density makes them lightweight, facilitating easy movement of the medical bed board and allowing medical staff to better adjust the angle.
Thirdly, they exhibit high X-ray transmittance and low X-ray absorption. Comparing a 1 mm thick aluminum plate and a carbon fiber composite plate, their X-ray transmittance is 78% and 96%, respectively; their scattering and absorption losses are 22% and 4%, respectively. This characteristic gives carbon fiber medical bed boards a significant competitive advantage in the medical radiology field.
Carbon fiber materials are used in the field of medical radiology. With their robust properties of “clear vision, strong support, and long service life”, they not only improve the quality of diagnosis and treatment, but also drive medical devices towards a more precise and humanized direction.
