Presented at SMST-2010, and now published in the journal Biomaterials, Amanda Runciman and her collaborators present new studies on the multiaxial fatigue performance of Nitinol. ...continue reading

Self Expanding Nitinol Stents

By the year 2003, Nitinol stents played a dominant role in the treatment of peripheral vascular disease. A great variety of designs had been launched into clinical service, some more successfully than others. This review was authored by the familiar NDC trio of Dieter Stoeckel, Alan Pelton, and Tom Duerig, and published in European Radiology. ...continue reading

SMA – Smart Materials for Medical Applications

In this paper from the proceedings of SPIE, Tom Duerig, Dieter Stoeckel, and David Johnson present some basic information on the properties of superelasticity and shape memory exhibited by Nitinol. The authors describe vascular applications including stents and filters, and some testing and characterization techniques applicable to such devices. This paper is notable in its ...continue reading
