MDO Nitinol Innovation Special Report

June 4, 2025 By Jim Hammerand

Nitinol is driving medtech innovation thanks to this nickel-titanium alloy’s shape memory and superelastic properties.

Download our free Nitinol Special Report below to learn how this uniquely useful medtech metal is manufactured, processed and finished to enable a variety of cutting-edge medical devices, including many promising applications still in development.

Look into the bill of materials for any cutting-edge medtech innovation, and there’s a good chance you’ll find nitinol.

This nickel-titanium alloy can be fine-tuned for flexibility and shape memory. With nitinol, physicians can treat life-threatening conditions with next-generation devices that enable safer, faster procedures.

But making medical devices with nitinol isn’t easy. That difficulty extends all the way up the supply chain to the melters that make raw nitinol in the first place. And there’s much we’re still learning about this medtech metal.

That’s why collaboration is so critical. We want to do our part at Medical Design & Outsourcing. We’re constantly covering nitinol innovations in medtech and interviewing experts working with nitinol to help device developers of all sizes take advantage of this uniquely useful medical device material.

We hope this special report — our first focused on nitinol — will not only highlight innovative uses of nitinol in medtech, but also inspire continued collaboration and development of nitinol-enabled devices.
