Nitinol Sheet (NiTi Sheet)
Nitinol Sheet: Versatile Flat Panels for Customizable Medical Implants
Nitinol Sheet Description:
Flat nitinol panels, hot-rolled to thicknesses of 0,1–2 mm and sizes up to 300 × 300 mm. Ideal for cutting and shaping into custom forms.
Nitinol Sheet Key Features:
- Bendable with 8% deformation recovery.
- High surface smoothness (Ra < 0,2 µm).
- Shape memory for precise structural restoration.
Nitinol Sheet Certification and Standards:
- ASTM F2063: Core standard for nitinol in medical use.
- ASTM F2633: Specific to wrought nitinol sheets.
- ISO 5840: Applies to cardiovascular implants like heart valves.
- ISO 13485 and ISO 10993: Required for quality and biocompatibility.

Materials
Nitinol (NiTi), a nickel-titanium alloy, is renowned for its superelasticity and shape memory, making it a game-changer in medical applications. With a tensile strength of up to 1200 MPa and elastic modulus of 40–75 GPa, nitinol excels in demanding environments.
Application
- Bone Fixation: Plates (50–150 mm long) stabilize fractures with up to 500 N load capacity.
- Heart Valves: Frames (20–30 mm Ø) compress to 6–8 mm for delivery, then expand.
- Custom Implants: Cut into tailored shapes (e.g., septal defect patches).
