Nitinol (NiTi) & SMAs:
The 'Smart Metal' Advantage

This extraordinary smart metal combines superelasticity (it flexes and springs back) with shape memory (it returns to a preset shape). These traits let us design highly miniaturized, flexible, and durable components—like self-expanding stents or microscopic actuators—that often serve as key enablers in next-generation medical devices.
