Nitinol Rod

Nitinol Rod is an alloy composed of nickel and titanium that is widely used in the medical industry for its unique superelastic and shape memory properties. These properties enable it to return to its original shape after being subjected to external forces, and it has different shape stability at different temperatures, which provides great flexibility in the design and function of medical devices.

In the cardiovascular field, Nitinol is widely used to make stents (such as coronary and peripheral vascular stents) that are implanted in blood vessels through minimally invasive surgery and are able to automatically expand at body temperature, keeping blood vessels open. The superelasticity of Nitinol rod allows the stent to adapt to the dynamic changes of blood vessels, reducing postoperative complications. In addition, Nitinol rod is used to create vascular filters that trap clots in the blood and prevent them from entering the lungs or other vital organs.

In the field of orthopedics, Nitinol rods are widely used in internal bone fixation devices, such as bone nails and bone plates. These devices can produce slight deformation in response to temperature changes, thereby stabilizing the fracture site and speeding up the healing process. At the same time, Nitinol is also used in spinal correction instruments to correct spinal deformities, and its shape memory properties can achieve accurate spinal correction by means of temperature control.

In addition, Nitinol rods are used in the manufacture of minimally invasive surgical tools, such as guide wires and pliers, which are favored for their high flexibility and durability, allowing for flexible operation in narrow or complex surgical environments. Nitinol's biocompatibility and corrosion resistance also make it an ideal material for implants, playing a key role in the medical field.
