The Potential of Powder Metallurgy for the Fabrication of Biomaterials on the Basis of Nickel-Titanium: A Case Study with a Staple Showing Shape Memory Behaviour
A staple from nickel‐titanium shape memory alloy for foot surgery was prepared by metal injection moulding (powder metallurgy). After a thorough characterisation with a multitude of physical, chemical, mechanical, and biological methods, the prototype appears to be well suited for clinical use where a shape‐memory effect is useful.
