1. Minimally invasive surgical instruments
Catheters and guides: Nitinol tubes are widely used in cardiovascular, neurovascular and peripheral vascular interventions due to their flexibility and anti-kinking properties.

Endoscopic tool: steerable instrument for robot-assisted surgery.

2. Stents and implants
Peripheral and coronary stents: Self-dilatating Nitinol stents remain the primary treatment for arterial blockages.

Tubular stents: Used for aortic aneurysm repair (e.g. EVAR/TEVAR surgery).

Ureteral and biliary stents: Help maintain open passages in urology and gastroenterology.

3. Orthopaedic and dental applications
Bone fixation devices: Nitinol tubes are bone pins and compression devices used for fracture healing.

Orthodontic arch line: Superelastic allows gentle, continuous tooth movement.

4. Neuromodulation and drug delivery
Spinal cord and deep brain stimulation electrodes: Nitinol tubes offer flexible, durable leads.

Drug-eluting implants: used in controlled release drug delivery systems (e.g., oncology).

5. Emerging trends for 2024
Bioabsorbable Nitinol alloys: study of temporary scaffolds that dissolve after healing.

3d printed Nitinol devices: customizable patient-specific implants (e.g., trachea stents).

Ai Integrated Smart stent: A stent with built-in sensors to monitor blood flow in real time.

Advantages of driving adoption
Superelasticity - can withstand large deformation without permanent damage.
NMR compatibility - non-ferromagnetic, making it safe for imaging.
✔ Biocompatibility - Excellent corrosion resistance in the body.

Challenge
Due to the precision requirements, the manufacturing cost is high.

Medical grade pipes require complex processing (laser cutting, electric polishing).

conclusion
In 2024, Nitinol tubes will remain indispensable in interventional cardiology, endoscopy, orthopaedics and neuromodulation, with advances in bioabsorbable materials, 3D printing and smart implants driving the development of medical technology.
