Emerging Transcatheter Technologies
You can download a presentation of emerging transcatheter devices and technologies that I put together from the engineering design perspective that includes AAA solutions, [...]
Thermoelastic Transformation Behavior of Nitinol
The transformation behavior of Nitinol under uniaxial tension and four-point bending was investigated. A novel sample geometry produced from drawn tubing was used to [...]
Phase Transformations in Nitinol
Nitinol is well suited to the design constraints imposed by medical device applications, however, only modest progress has so far been made regarding long [...]
Reliability Assessment of Superelastic Medical Devices
A series of phase shifted moire interferograms showing a NiTi dogbone experiencing increased tensile loading. The two images on the right exhibit clear [...]
LifeStent NT Self-Expanding Helical Stent
The 6F LifeStent NT is an implantable self-expanding nickel titanium alloy (Nitinol) stent. The stent is manufactured from small diameter Nitinol tubing and is [...]
Effects of Notches and Grain Size on Transformations in Nitinol
In this paper, we present a research methodology to characterize the effects of crystallographic orientation and grain size on the deformations and transformations in [...]
