TiAg is a titanium-silver alloy that combines titanium's biocompatibility and corrosion resistance with silver's antimicrobial properties. This material is primarily developed for biomedical and healthcare applications where infection prevention is critical, leveraging silver's well-established bactericidal effects alongside titanium's established track record in implantable devices. The alloy represents an emerging approach to reduce infection risk in surgical implants and medical instruments without relying solely on surface coatings or post-operative antibiotics.
