Nickel titanium shape memory pipe nitinol capillary tube for medical
Nitinol capillary tubes are small, thin-walled tubes made from a shape memory alloy called Nitinol. Nitinol is a nickel-titanium alloy with unique properties, including shape memory and superelasticity. These properties make it an ideal material for a variety of medical and industrial applications.
Nitinol capillary tubes have a number of features and applications, including:
Shape memory: Nitinol has the ability to "remember" its original shape and return to it after being deformed, which makes it a useful material for medical devices such as stents, where the device needs to be deformed to fit into a small area, and then expand to its original shape once in place.
Superelasticity: Nitinol has a high elasticity, which allows it to deform significantly and then return to its original shape without permanent damage. This property makes it useful for applications where a flexible, yet strong material is needed, such as in surgical instruments and catheters.
Biocompatibility: Nitinol is biocompatible and non-toxic, making it suitable for use in medical implants and devices.
Corrosion resistance: Nitinol is highly resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use in harsh environments.
High strength-to-weight ratio: Nitinol is lightweight and has a high strength-to-weight ratio, making it useful for applications where weight is a concern, such as in aerospace and automotive industries.
Overall, Nitinol capillary tubes are a high-quality material that is well-suited for a wide range of medical and industrial applications where shape memory, superelasticity, biocompatibility, and corrosion resistance are required.
