What is Nitinol Tube?
Nitinol tubing, made from a unique nickel-titanium alloy, is an essential material in modern medical implants due to its remarkable properties. It combines flexibility, strength, and excellent biocompatibility, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices. Widely used in applications like stents, catheters, and orthodontic devices, Nitinol tubing is capable of changing shape under specific conditions, making it highly effective for minimally invasive procedures.
This alloy is favored by medical professionals worldwide for its resilience and performance, especially in devices that require precise deployment, flexible designs, and biocompatibility within the human body. At Victory Supplier, we provide high-quality Nitinol tubing that meets rigorous standards, ensuring each product is tailored to the unique needs of your medical applications.
Tubing Actual Performance Af Temperature | For finished tubes with an outer diameter of 0.25-9.0mm, after cutting a section of the tube, the actual recovery temperature can be tested using the bending recovery method specified in ASTM F2082/F2082M-16. |
| Surface Condition | Outer Surface: Oxidized state, ground state Inner Surface: Clean state |
| Tubing Length | Length can be precisely specified or arbitrarily specified; for arbitrary lengths, the maximum and minimum lengths can be negotiated with sales or technical personnel. |
| Straightness | The requirements and test methods for straightness can be agreed upon with sales or technical personnel. |
| Internal and External Surface Defects | The requirements for surface defects can be agreed upon with sales or technical personnel. |
| Typical Applications | Medical: Hypo tubes, camera tubes, stents, baskets, catheters |
Features of Nitinol Tube
Shape Memory Effect: Nitinol tubing can "remember" its original shape and return to it when exposed to a particular temperature. This feature is highly beneficial for devices like stents, which need to expand to a specific size once implanted.
Biocompatibility: Nitinol is non-toxic and resistant to corrosion, making it an ideal material for long-term implantation in the human body. Its high biocompatibility minimizes the risk of rejection or adverse reactions.
Durability and Flexibility: This tubing offers both strength and flexibility, allowing it to withstand significant stress without compromising its structural integrity. It’s highly resistant to fatigue, making it ideal for applications that require repeated bending or compression.
Thermal and Corrosion Resistance: Nitinol performs well across a broad temperature range and resists corrosion from bodily fluids, ensuring longevity in medical devices that are exposed to challenging conditions.
Customization: Our Nitinol tubing can be customized in terms of diameter, length, and shape, catering to the specific needs of medical applications such as stents, catheters, and other surgical instruments.

Advantages of Nitinol Tube
Precision in Medical Procedures: Nitinol’s shape memory effect makes it perfect for devices that need to expand or contract inside the body. This precision can be critical for procedures that demand high accuracy and minimal invasiveness.
Long-Term Performance: Due to its durability, Nitinol tubing maintains its properties over long periods, ensuring the long-term success of implanted devices. It significantly reduces the likelihood of device failure or complications.
Patient Comfort: The flexibility of Nitinol tubing ensures that medical devices can adjust to the body’s natural movements, offering greater comfort and minimizing the need for follow-up procedures.
Reduced Risk of Complications: With its ability to recover from deformation and its non-reactivity, Nitinol minimizes the chances of complications often associated with other materials used in implants.
Versatility: Nitinol tubing can be used across a range of medical devices, from cardiovascular stents to dental implants and surgical tools. Its versatility makes it a go-to solution for diverse medical needs.
Applications of Nitinol Tube
Cardiovascular Stents: Nitinol’s shape memory properties make it an ideal choice for self-expanding stents. The tubing expands upon reaching body temperature, conforming perfectly to the vessel walls.
Vascular Catheters: Nitinol tubing is used in vascular catheters due to its flexibility and resilience, allowing for easier insertion and manipulation in delicate surgical environments.
Orthopedic Implants: The strength and shape memory characteristics of Nitinol make it ideal for use in bone fixation devices and joint replacements, offering stability and support during recovery.
Dental Devices: Nitinol is widely used in orthodontics for braces and other dental implants, where its flexibility and ability to "remember" a pre-defined shape is critical for patient treatment.
Minimally Invasive Surgical Tools: The flexibility and resistance to deformation make Nitinol ideal for use in tools for laparoscopic and other minimally invasive surgeries.
