Application of nickel alloys in medicine

General characteristics of nickel alloys used in medicine

Stainless steels that contain nickel, as well as nickel alloys are widely used for medical purposes. Medical applications include surgical implants, medical instruments, medical equipment and devices, as well as dental instruments and implants.

As a medical application can also be considered cosmetic surgery on the body, for example, piercing.

Urgency of application

Nickel-containing materials are usually used for medical purposes for a number of reasons:

Nickel-containing stainless steel tools, contact surfaces and other equipment can be repeatedly and efficiently sterilized using rather severe disinfectant chemicals without destroying the material;

nickel-containing stainless steels can be manufactured without ferromagnetism to ensure compatibility with a diagnostic tool such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). Stainless steels containing nickel are also compatible with X-rays.

Nickel-containing stainless steels are high-strength materials with good strength properties. Elevated strength levels can be obtained by modifying the alloy composition or by cold treating the material where possible.

Nickel-containing stainless steels for implants are considered to be biocompatible in their respective applications. Some of them are successfully used with a well-characterized level of biological response. Although no implant material has ever been completely devoid of adverse reactions in the human body, most nickel-containing stainless steels are suitable for applications in which long-term skin contact is involved.

Supplier — AvekGlob company — offers at a reasonable price from the manufacturer a diverse range of nickel-based alloys that can be used in medicine. The supplier guarantees the timely delivery of products to any address specified by the consumer.

Nickel alloys, characterized by the memory effect, and their use in medicine

The variety of shapes and properties of such alloys makes them extremely useful for a variety of medical applications. For example, a wire that has a small cross-section in its «deformed» shape can be inserted into the body cavity or artery with a reduced chance of injury. Once in place and after its release from the containment catheter, the device is triggered by heat from the body and returns to its original «stored» form. Increasing the volume of the device through direct contact or remote heat input has allowed the development of new methods for minimally invasive surgery.

This includes tools with dynamic properties, such as miniature forceps, clamps and manipulators, devices that can expand, contract, move apart, etc. Such tools allow you to perform complex medical tasks:

• Help for the disabled

• Regulating valves

• Devices for burns

• Arterial clamps

• Guiding wires for the catheter

• Contraceptive means

• Filtering devices

• Stents for transplants

• Orthodontic arches

• Scoliosis correctors

Supplier — AvekGlob company — offers to purchase various brands of nickel alloys used in medicine. Products can be bought at a price formed on the basis of European and world standards of production. Implementation is possible in bulk and retail, for regular customers, a flexible system of discounts operates.
