ASTM International’s medical and surgical devices committee (F04) is developing a proposed standard for a wrought ...

This time he’s made himself a Nitinol wire inchworm, which actually moves across the table when you apply a switching electrical current to it! Nitinol is a shape memory alloy which has a cool ...

In the pioneering years of CAS, an attempt was made to implant balloon-expandable stents to open up the internal carotid artery (ICA) or common carotid artery (CCA). Owing to the superficial ...

According to the report, the "nitinol-based medical device market" was valued at $4.3 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $9.8 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2024 to 2035.

An exoskeleton consisting of nitinol stents is attached to the entire external surface of the graft with ePTFE-FEP bonding tape. Both the proximal and distal segments of the endograft have ...

But there are other methods of locomotion available. As [Jamie Matthews] demonstrates, Nitinol wires can be another way to help get things moving. Nitinol is a type of metal wire made of nickel ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports explored how volume energy density (VED) during laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) affects the microstructure and corrosion resistance of NiTi alloys (Nitinol).
