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.
