Due to the diverse and unique properties of stainless steel alloys, it has become an indispensable material in the field of modern medicine. The required material characteristics include: good corrosion resistance to body fluids, biocompatibility, excellent strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance and low magnetic susceptibility.The term biocompatibility is more difficult to define and can be simply described as: the ability to play an appropriate role in the specific environment of the human body.

The following materials are commonly used steel in the shipbuilding field

Based on biology, precise medicines with higher specificity and efficacy can be produced. In this way, although the diversity is increased, the scale of each production operation is smaller. Therefore, a more flexible production process is required to respond to changes in demand more quickly. A new production method using a disposable bioreactor emerges. A bioreactor refers to a container for cultivating organisms (yeast, bacteria, or animal cells) under controlled conditions.
They are usually made of 304L (UNS S30403) stainless steel (because the disposable liner of the container needs to be in contact with the product), and are increasingly used in the production process of the biopharmaceutical industry to produce biological drugs, vaccines, antibodies, cells and genes Therapy and biosimilars.
As the demand for small batch production of new drugs and chemicals continues to grow, the use of disposable bioreactors has made flexible production and small systems more practical and applicable. Due to the advantages of reducing the workload of cleaning and steam disinfection, reducing the cost of water and electricity, flexible facility design and improving capital efficiency, disposable bioreactors can set up more factories in emerging markets to achieve distributed production.
In 2015, a batch of medical equipment manufactured in Sweden used the company's stainless steel belts and other products to reduce the need for expensive and time-consuming cleaning and disinfection verification procedures between batches; reduce solid waste; reduce capital and operating costs; Quickly respond to changing market demands, etc.
