Nitinol has been used in biomedical field for more than thirty years
Due to its unique properties,such as superelasticity, biocompatibility,shape memory properties etc.
It can be used to make many kinds of medical devices:such as orthodontics, surgical plastic surgery, minimally invasive cardiovascular, etc.; thrombus filter is actually a new product of nickel-titanium shape memory alloy; the strained filter will gradually form a mesh after implantation of the vein as time went by , preventing more than 90% of the clots from flowing to the heart, lungs and other organs. In addition, the application of Nitinol shape memory alloys in medical clinical trials includes surgical sutures, artificial joints, artificial hearts, and the like.
The growth of industry in nitinol are increasing all over the world.
North America dominates main market share of the world for nitinol product.
Demanding for nitinol medical equipment is increasing worldwide.However,refined products are facing a lot of difficulties,some technology is yet to be overcome.For example, how to make the surfcae of thin nitinol wire(0.01~0.1mm) very bright? Actually, we have been overcome this difficulty and make the surface very bright for its perfect use in medical field.
