PulseSelect and PFA catheters from other device developers use gold or platinum-iridium electrodes. But Medtronic’s Affera Sphere-9 PFA system uses the entire expanding nitinol structure as a global ...

In our service, the Precise an open-cell nitinol stent with a large open-cell area and highly flexible interconnecting bridges (see Table 1) will be selected if preoperative imaging shows a ...

AFib-treating cardiac ablation, surgical robotics, nitinol and diabetes treatment tech lead among this year’s top medtech stories. Meanwhile, medical device companies have been seeking more tuck ...

After the deployment of an appropriately sized WEB, rapid stasis can be achieved within the aneurysm in most cases. The braided nitinol structure of the WEB creates a very low porosity at the aneurysm ...

The antenna was 3D printed from a nickel-titanium alloy, also known as Nitinol, one of the most popular shape memory alloys. This means that the alloy can recover its original shape after deformation ...

Actuation employs a cam and follower mechanism for controlled translation of the segments. The needle prototype, constructed from nitinol rods and stainless steel rings, measures 3 mm in outer ...

The foot is a complex structure made up of 28 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles, over 100 tendons and ligaments, and more than 200,000 different nerve endings. These work together to allow you to walk, run ...

Resulting changes to the polymer’s chemical configuration and electronic structure alters its refractive index, changing how it scatters light. Shining light onto the antenna changes the intensity of ...

Wildfires fueled by strong Santa Ana winds have devastated Southern California, destroying thousands of homes and causing 27 deaths. The fires, affecting urban areas and the Olympic preparation ...

The University of Oklahoma's $2.1 billion enterprise represents one of Oklahoma's greatest assets. Our impact is changing the lives of all Oklahomans, through scholarship, research and more. 30,000+ ...

During the experiments the model was continuously flushed with saline solution previously heated at 37°C in order to allow the optimal expansion of devices made of nitinol alloy. Two authors with ...
