Regular readers of Medical Design & Outsourcing know how much we love nitinol. It’s an incredibly useful alloy enabling a wide variety of minimally invasive medical devices, and there’s still so much to learn before we can take full advantage of this medtech metal.
PFA is one of nitinol’s greatest medtech success stories. To help device developers innovate with nitinol, Medical Design & Outsourcing has interviewed engineers, executives and other device experts about the design and development of their PFA systems, as well as some of the questions that remain around safety and efficacy. This special report offers those exclusive insights in a format that’s easy to read, share, and save for future reference.

I’d like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the nitinol experts at OEMs and their industry partners who have graciously lent us their time and expertise for this special report and our ongoing nitinol coverage, and thank the sponsors of this special report for their support.
And of course, thanks to you, the reader, for your time and attention — and the work you do to improve care for patients across the globe.
