Nitinol plate is a unique metal that can remember its form. What this means is that it can be bent or stretched but will always return to its original shape. It's composed of nickel and titanium, which is what allows it to do what it does. Nitinol plate has myriad uses, particularly in medical implants.
The Nitinol plate is also classified as a shape memory alloy in that it is capable of "remembering" a designated shape. It can spring to its original shape when pulled or altered in shape, only to return to its original shape when heated again. This makes it extremely useful for many applications, and in medicine in particular.
Nitinol plate is found in numerous medical devices, such as stents, orthopedic implants and guidewires. Stents are tiny tubes used to keep open the arteries of people with heart problems. Nitinol plate is a good choice for this because it can be adapted to conform to the needs of each individual patient and then expanded once in position.
Nitinol plate is also a critical component of orthopedic implantations. Such implants can be used to repair or replace injured bones and joints. Nitinol plate works well because as a metal it is very strong and therefore less likely to break, and because it is safe for use in the body.
Manufacturing of nitinol plate is complicated. It’s melting down nickel together with titanium in a specialized furnace at insane temperatures. Then the metal is poured into a mold and allowed to cool into the right shape. Then the nitinol is put through a form of heat treatment that makes it shape memory.
There are many advantages to using nitinol plate in orthopedic prosthesis. A big advantage is its shape memory, said Dimitri A. Mikhaylov, which allows the implant to be deformed to place it in the body and then spring back to its original shape. This allows surgeons to make smaller incisions and have more control over where the implant goes.
With enhanced technology, we can anticipate more exciting advancement of the nitinol plate technology. Scientists are trying to improve it, say by making it more immune to rust and wear. They’re also interested in finding new uses for this incredible material, be it in robots or airplanes.
